• ‘This Is a Moneymaker': Tonawanda (NY) Says Scaled-Back Ambulance Corps to Launch in January (jems.com) — Town of Tonawanda leaders say a scaled‑back municipal ambulance service should launch in January and could net the town about $250,000 a year. The plan uses two town ambulances on daytime shifts, with Twin City Ambulance covering other times, and officials say residents in Tonawanda and Kenmore should see faster, more reliable emergency response.
