Jesterday ratified the final agreement
for the Douglas County ambulance
to build a second ambulance
station.
The station will be built near the hospital's emergency room on land the county will buy from the hospital, Ted Brown, director of the service, said yesterday.

these to reach people faster in an
emergency, be better prepared.
The new station, which will house the
"We will be responding from two locations," McFarlane said.
The other station is at 19th and Massachusetts streets.
THE STATION will benefit both the county and the hospital by allowing the ambulance staff to train and work with the hospital's critical care staff, said Bob Campbell, hospital director of community relations.
1. "would guess it would relate to
fairly traumatic care, fairly acute
kinds of pain."
"While the staff are not out on runs they have an opportunity to learn things.
"I think it would be a little like firemen operate." Campbell said.
Part of the county ambulance staff's training is to learn how to evaluate the emergency care a patient needs, McFarlane said.
"They initially evaluate the patient's condition and discuss that with a nurse or physician," he said. "That treatment could include any thing from bandaging wounds, cleaning wounds, to administering drugs."
The county is taking a slight financial risk in building the station, but the benefits of the location outweigh the risk, McFarlane said.
Construction on the new station should begin in May. McFarlane said.

"We don't want the economic burden to be a consideration when they call," McPharlane said. "In case you're taken, let me pay for it, the county absorbs the cost."
"Every taxayer in the county benefits from our service. That's very much like our fire department. Even if his house doesn't catch fire, what the taxayer is paying for is the peace of mind that it's there."
The county's ambulance service is
In some counties, the ambulances are privately operated and are more ex-
"Shawnee County charges three times what we do and provides the same basic services," McFarlane said.
The average ambulance run costs Douglas County about $60 to $70, he said.
In its projected 1982 operating expenses, the county service expects to take in about $150,000 in user fees and to make up its deficit with about $380,000 from property tax funds, McFarlane said.
