FOUR FORMER JEANNETTE EMS VEHICLES SOLD YESTERDAY

Four former Jeannette EMS vehicles were sold yesterday as part of a liquidation sale.  The Trib reports that the sale was approved by a federal judge who is overseeing the Jeannette EMS Bankruptcy case.  Jeannette EMS shut down abruptly after 63 years in business. Officials previously pointed to insufficient funding and low insurance reimbursement rates as reasons for the closure on July 3 of last year. City officials had hours notice to get a plan in place to continue ambulance service for Jeannette residents.
