Thurston County ambulances are running into serious delays when they arrive at the hospital up to 90 minutes to be able to transport patients into emergency rooms.
Kurt Harden, director of Emergency Services for Thurston County, said that up to four ambulances can be waiting in the hospital parking lot at any given time because hospitals are filling up.
The problem has been building for a while, he said, but has really come to a head in the past week especially during daytime hours. One battalion chief told Harden last week that it was the worst day he had experienced in his 20-year career.
