Craig Sparks, Speaks in Reference to Allowing Calvary Medical Transport, Inc., to
Operate a Basic Life Support (BLS) Ambulance Service: Mr. Sparks, the owner of Calvary
Ambulance Service, spoke about providing BLS transports. He said that in the past six years,
Calvary or CMT had grown from 6 employees, with 2 ambulances, to 70 employees with 12
ambulances. He said 45,000 patients had been transported and only 10 complaints had been
filed. Sparks said the paramedics who had been complained about were fired. He said Interim
EMS Director David Cloer, along with EMS Medical Director Dr. Folsted, had approved CMT's
request to operate in the county, and a local hospital CEO had written a letter on behalf of CMT.
Sparks said most of the requirements had been met to operate in Iredell County, including state
approval, and a site had already been rented. He said the only requirement left was to obtain
signatures from the county manager or EMS Director on the state forms. Mr. Cloer said he felt a
franchise would be helpful, and he would send a copy of the one used in Forsyth County.
(No action taken; however, see briefing minutes for a directive to Asst. Co. Mgr.
Jackson.)
