Butler County is bringing in EMS personnel to their emergency services unit.
District Attorney Rich Goldinger made the request to have Quality EMS employees join the emergency services unit whenever they are used for certain situations.
Goldinger said right now EMS crews are used as volunteers during these incidents, but believed it’s fair since they’re involved in the process to have the coverage of Butler County.
The county’s solicitor agreed, and said while there’s a certain risk to bringing them on, it’s reasonable to give them the same treatment as law enforcement.
