Hearing set for ambulance service

Wednesday, Aug. 2, 2000 | 10:44 a.m.

A new franchise agreement that allows the upstart Southwest Ambulance to enter the market and compete with American Medical Response was introduced Tuesday. A public hearing was set for 10 a.m. on Sept. 5.

If the commission approves the ordinance that allows the franchise to move forward, Southwest may offer nonemergency service in Clark County by Sept. 20, county franchise manager Jim Spinello said.

Spinello said the county, North Las Vegas and Las Vegas are continuing to determine a method in which AMR and Southwest will respond to emergency calls.
