[Scan-DC] Montgomery County on Blue Alert

[WILSON HULLEY]

DOES THIS MEAN THAT MONTGOMERY COUNTY HAS NOT KEPT UP WITH THEIR AMBULANCE INVENTORY????????

IF THAT IS THE CASE...I AM NOT SURPRISED AS MONTGOMERY COUNTY HAS NOT DONE ANY COUNTY STREET TREE TRIMING OVER THE LAST 18 MONTHS. WE HAVE HAD TO HIRE A PROFESSIONAL TREE TRIMMER TO TRIM BACK OUR TREES IN SECTION FIVE OF CHEVY CHASE....

It was concerning, especially since there were no apparent weather incidents, MCI’s or anything else out of the ordinary besides having to dispatch an ambulance from station 20 for a cardiac arrest to Georgia/Bel Pre area during late afternoon rush hour just after the Blue Alert went out.
