Commissioner Robertson asked how paramedic salaries in Iredell County compared to other
counties.
Cloer said the compensation was a little low, with Buncombe County paying the most followed by
the EMS service in Forsyth County.
Commissioner Tice asked about the possibility of stationing either an ambulance or QRV at the
Mt. Mourne VFD similar to what had occurred at the Shepherds VFD. She added that the Lowes
Company alone anticipated a workforce of 12,000 employees, and these people would be traveling and/or
living in the Mt. Mourne area.
Cloer said he would research the matter. He said anytime there was an opportunity to work with a
fire department in this manner, it was advantageous to the county.
