Commissioner Stewart asked how the squad had obtained a
buffer amount. The squad representatives said they looked at
prior budgets and how much funding increases had been given in
past years.
Commissioner Madison asked how many calls per year the squad
received. Hinson said they received rescue dispatches of around
200-250 per year. First responder calls would be around 400-500
per year. He added that they respond to all of the fire
department calls in their territory, and serve as backup for the
iredell and Mooresville squads. Also, since they receive state
grants, it is necessary for them respond statewide when
necessary. They cannot charge when transporting patients, but
some OSHA technical types of emergency responses can be invoiced.

requirements, but they were trying as best they could.
