Dan Martin, Emergency Medical Director, told the budget hearing that "Calls for EMS services went up significantly in 2025" and argued for increasing the Fast Squad roster and recruiting more volunteers to meet demand. The hearing record states the overall EMS budget proposed for 2026 remains roughly the same as 2025, even as call volume increased.
Committee members acknowledged the need for more volunteers but did not record a formal change to EMS appropriations in the hearing minutes. The Selectboard and Budget Advisory Committee asked for further details about staffing, volunteer recruitment plans, and whether increased call volume will affect overtime or equipment needs.
