The Ada County Emergency Medical Services District met briefly after the county commission adjourned on Feb. 24 and received an update on recent ambulance-related vandalism.
A commissioner reported that a Canyon County ambulance was stolen the previous night and driven into the port of a building; the vehicle had been left unsecured, according to the update. The commissioner also said there was an attempt to burn another building in Boise and that arrests had been made in connection with the incidents. "They arrested that individual because it was a potentially very serious ... it could have been," the commissioner said, describing the incidents as "scary times out there."
The EMS district approved routine items on the agenda (claims and minutes) and adjourned; no formal policy actions were taken in response to the vandalism report in the brief session.
