Mayor Speaks On Ambulance Service

Batavia Mayor Jeff Schielke on Monday evening mentioned the crash during the Mayor's Report portion of the Batavia City Council meeting. He spoke about the important need for ambulance service for residents.

This is what he said:

"The last two weeks we've had 95 ambulance calls," Schielke said. "Tonight we had an accident out at Kirk Road and Geise Road which we had four ambulances, our own two plus two more from outside of town, so when it rains on you, it pours. I think out of all services, the ambulance business is the most valued service we are doing for the citizens of Batavia as far as when they dial 911. Ninety-nine percent of the time they're seriously in need of us getting there as quickly as we can. They need that ambulance."
