There’s a new agreement between Salisbury and Wicomico County for fire and ambulance service.
A study found that there was a gap of around $1.1 million between what the county pays for emergency services and what it cost the city.
The Salisbury Daily Times reports that Mayor Jake Day said the deal gives the city around $400-thousand more in the next fiscal year.
The rate for the new agreement is $300 per fire call and just over $400 for an ambulance transports a patient to a hospital.
Meanwhile, members of the Company 1 volunteer firefighters have been offered a new station at the Salisbury-Ocean City Wicomico County Regional Airport.
The volunteer fire company abruptly announced their decision to separate from the Salisbury Fire Department earlier this year over issues involving command structure.
