We've heard from one city ambulance employee and have confirmed with Batavia City Manager Jason Molino that 17 medics and 4 firefighters have been notified of their termination from the city's fire department.
We have no further details at this time.
The city is shutting down its ambulance service as of Aug. 31 and Mercy Flight is starting a new ground ambulance service in Genesee County at 12:00 a.m., Sept. 1.
To all that lost their jobs
To all that lost their jobs in Genesee County today, I am truely sorry. Thank You for your dedication, and service. I wish you all, all the best of luck finding a job to support your familys. I guess the city has to save money, and cut costs, I just wish cuts would have been made elsewhere.
On a brighter note: Mercy Flight is a state of the art outfit, and I'm sure, will do a great job for us.
Hopefully these folks will
Hopefully these folks will all be hired on my Mercy Flight!!
Ia m grateful EVERYDAY for my job! I would hate to face this crisis today! My prayers are with those who have been laid off today (also at Pioneer!)
