The Washington County Board of Supervisors heard the Washington County Ambulance’s 4th quarter and fiscal year 2024 annual reports. Interim Ambulance Director Katrina Altenhofen gave the reports. “We did 2,734 calls within the county last year, which is down from the previous year as far as call volume. Our third and fourth crew pages decreased by 255 calls, that’s again putting on that third rig has helped out immensely. When you look at the breakdown, district one had 1,741 of those calls, and then district two which is the northern part had 744 calls. You have Wellman at 297 and Kalona at 246.” This will be the last report that Altenhofen will be giving as her time as Interim Director has come to an end.
