The Coffee County Ambulance Service is continuing to have a problem getting enough people to work. According to Ambulance Authority Chairman Mark Kelly they currently have eight EMS units with 15 full-time paramedics, 15 full-time EMTs, six part-time paramedics and five part-time EMTs. Kelly says that the county’s location away from major cities makes it hard to attract people and the pay is another problem. The salary ranges from $9 to 15 hour. Kelly says that they currently are trying to get the latest equipment so they can attract people getting out of school. He said if they have the latest equipment then the people getting out of school will have equipment to work with that is the same as what they had in school.
