Wayne County continues expanding Emergency Medical Services with second ambulance base

Wayne County is proceeding with its Emergency Medical Services department expansion, planning to open a second temporary base on the north end of the county at the Alton Fire Department’s facility on Route 14.

The Finger Lakes Times reports that this temporary location will house a county crew and ambulance at no cost while a permanent base on Route 104 in Sodus is under construction, expected to take at least a year.

County officials have already opened operations at the former Lyons Town Ambulance base as they await the construction of the main headquarters.

A resolution to create two additional full-time EMTs and two part-time positions to staff the Sodus site is expected to be approved at the August 14 meeting.
