Voters in St. Clair County are being urged to renew a local ambulance millage on the August 4th ballot to keep emergency services running at current levels without raising taxes. Officials say the funding has led to faster response times, more ambulances on the road, and stronger staffing, including dozens of new hires and sharply reduced turnover. An expanded fleet and improved EMT training have also boosted reliability and care quality. Leaders warn that if the millage is not renewed, recent gains in emergency response could be lost.
