Pre-RFPPublic HealthDetected May 18, 2026

The Town reviewed concerns about the Petersburgh Rescue Ambulance Squad (PRAS), including a rising number of “no crew confirmed” responses, PRAS’s refusal to attend a Town Board meeting, and a complaint letter from the Town of Hoosick Rescue Squad documenting reliability issues. It was also noted that PRAS is not currently licensed by REMO to provide A‑EMT care despite announcing such capabilities, and the Board is considering cancelling its contract with PRAS, planning to send a cancellation notice and invite PRAS to the May meeting, while noting Hoosick’s stronger paid‑staff operation and the possibility of subcontracting with them in the future. This indicates the Town is actively reassessing EMS coverage and may seek alternative providers or new contracting arrangements.EMS agencies, billing and staffing consultants, and regional hospital systems can engage around options for reliable coverage, intermunicipal agreements, and performance‑based contracts that address the gaps identified in the review.

Town currently funds PRAS but is open to subcontracting with Town of Hoosick Rescue Squad or other providers; no RFP has yet been issued.
