Summary
Residents have raised concerns about ambulance response times, and council heard that dispatch protocol only sends the closest ambulance after a 10-minute threshold. CAFMA is meeting most benchmarks but struggling with the 10-minute standard. Council wants a guarantee that the nearest ambulance always responds.
