Lake County is planning a new public safety initiative that will involve the acquisition of five new ambulances and the hiring of approximately 100 new single-certified personnel. This project aims to improve emergency response times and enhance public safety services across the county. The plan includes transitioning existing firefighter-staffed ambulances to newly hired personnel and reassigning firefighters to create three-person crews on fire engines. This initiative is currently under review and is expected to be implemented over the next fiscal year, with potential phases including vehicle acquisition, recruitment, and training. Local contractors, suppliers, and service providers in the emergency vehicle, medical equipment, and staffing sectors should engage early to understand the project's scope and potential opportunities as plans are finalized.
