The number of medical aid calls addressed by Nanaimo Fire Rescue is rapidly increasing, along with the associated response costs.
During a Nanaimo city council meeting on Monday, November 6, Fire Chief Tim Doyle presented a report, requested earlier in the spring, which council deemed disheartening but insightful.
The report aimed to provide a breakdown of the financial expenses incurred in responding to medical calls and explore potential avenues for the city to recuperate these costs from the province.
