Fire Department Takeover of MAST-EMS: Fire Chief Dyer Can't Guarantee ANY Cost Savings



T
he "public comments" are live on KC-MO cable Channel 2- only the only one I've heard from the "public" is the city's fire chief and council members.


Is it NO citizens of KC-MO has even one comment about turning MAST-EMS over to Fire department operation?

Of particular note when asked about the "$1.8-million" of savings claimed folding MAST-EMS into the KC-MO FD- Fire Chief Richard "Smokey" Dyer said "he can't guarantee" those savings.

In department head-speak- that means "don't count on it."


This is a BAD move- folding a successful EMS service into the city's fire department- under a guise of "savings."

At least initially- this move will cost this cash-strapped city MORE.

The Mayor and every council person voting for this move with parts "that ain't broke" should be recalled- at the very least voted out.

YOU the citizen make the call- you'll just have to wait unit the next election.
