County Ambulance Says Lanesborough Covered

By Al Hartheimer
Lanesborough News
06:02PM / Saturday, March 29, 2008

LANESBOROUGH — A County Ambulance representative assured the Selectmen that the town is being adequately covered in emergency situations.

Brian K. Andrews, president of County Ambulance, explained at the board's March 24 meeting that ambulance service has always been cooperative with Lanesborough and has opened another station on Dalton Avenue. 

Town officials have been concerned over coverage since the closure of American Medical Response last year.

County Ambulance is currently handling 1,000 calls a month. Andrews said the service is still handling Lanesborough the same number of times as before. The service now has eight vehicles (seven guaranteed every day) and there are three or four at the Dalton Avenue station.

Andrews said the operation is licensed for all of Berkshire County but does not go farther north than Lanesborough and not into Cheshire at all. Selectman John Goerlach asked how much it would cost to have daytime coverage. Andrews responded that he would figure it out and advise the board
