The Escambia County Commission has renewed  a contract with Atmore Ambulance to provide emergency medical services for the portion of North Escambia in the 327 phone exchange.

Atmore Ambulance has been providing ambulance service for the Walnut Hill, Bratt, Davisville and surrounding communities in the 327 telephone exchange since 1978. The county’s current contract with Atmore Ambulance was due to expire on January 21, 2013.

In January 2010, the Escambia County Commission awarded a contract to Atmore Ambulance  for $85,000 per year for an initial period of 36 months, that was  renewable for two additional 12 month periods for a total of 60 months.

Under the terms of the contract, Atmore Ambulance directly bills patients for services rendered at an amount not greater than that billed by Escambia County EMS, which provides ambulance service for the rest of the county.

Renewal of the agreement was recommended by Mike Weaver, Escambia County’s public safety director.

Whether it is the bald headed guy, the midget, the fiesty female, the young slim guy who has the country accent, or our very own menonite from right here in Walnut Hill they are all very professional and helpful!

    Atmore Ambulance employees were wonderful and took great care of my son when he was injured a couple of years ago. We live in Escambia County, FL. This is an excellent agreement between the two counties and states. Thanks to all of our EMS and first responders for all that you do on a daily basis!
