BECKER The Sun Journal Stall Writer GREENTOWN - It was recent- ly reported that the Greentown Fire Department failed to respond to an emergency call within an adequate amount of time. The emergency call was received at the Greentown Fire Department at 1:59:10 a.m. on Thursday, Jan. 21 from the residence of Margaret Rogers. According to Rogers, more than 20 minutes time elapsed between the time of the call and the time someone arrived at the scene. "The problem was that Mrs. Rogers put a call into Greentown and no one was available to answer the call," said Sue Ruley, Lake Township trustee. "Because they are a volunteer department sometimes people aren't available to answer the calls." Mark Garber, chief of the Greentown Fire Department said, "We received a call at 1:59:10 a.m. and at 2:07 a.m. a fully equipped medic arrived at the Rogers residence." "Our patient's care was not compromised at all. The only problem we had was that we didn't turn out a squad," said Garber. According to Garber, the patient was "ready to load and go" when the Uniontown ambulance arrived and that Rogers was en- route to the hospital at 2:22 a.m. The weather-was bad and the roads were very icy that night, but the Medic 1041, Lake EMS, Paramedic First Response was enroute by 2:00 a.m. Ruley stated that the township has in place a system that alerts a dispatcher if a oertain department is not going to be available. "We are surrounded by other emergency departments that are willing to help out, said Ruley. Tm sure this is something we can work out It couldVe been just a quirk or just a lack of communication, but we are checking into it" ■ ■ City Little League moves to new fields Editor's Note: The Sun Journal will publish a special commemorative edition to celebrate North Canton Little League's Opening Day.
