Lots of emotion filled a meeting room in Burlington County on Monday as residents gathered to air their concerns about an issue that they say not only puts their safety at risk, but would also result in job losses.
Dozens of people packed into the standing room only town meeting in Bordentown to voice their opinions about the township possibly outsourcing the city and township's EMS services. The township says they are looking to possibly hire an outside company to do the work, putting some people who have more than 20 years of experience out of their jobs.
"I am one of the original EMT's before any of you guys were on the board, and I am going to lose my job, after 24 years. And none of you are batting an eye," said veteran EMS worker Lori Engle. Some residents say the biggest concern for them is outsourced ambulances will take longer during an emergency and the personnel won't know the area.
