SFD offers to provide service to Houston Ambulance District

SIDNEY The city of Sidney may soon be providing emergency ambulance service to the Houston Ambulance District for six months to help with its need due to lack of staffing, starting Jan. 1.
The Sidney City Council adopted legislation Monday evening for the city of Sidney to enter into a contract with the Houston Ambulance District after Fire Chief Chad Hollinger recommended to not extend Sidney’s mutual aid agreement with Houston past Dec. 31, 2020. The agreement is no longer effective because Houston has significant staffing issues and is unable to reciprocate mutual aid to Sidney.
