Many local governments provide these services directly.
Competition always produces the best service at the lowest price.
And this is no less true in the arena of emergency services. We provide emergency service to over 400 communities in the United States and Latin America, and respond to more than 3 million calls for help each year. We are one of the nation's largest private-sector ambulance and fire protection providers. By combining the fiduciary integrity of the public sector, communities with the innovation and business acumen of the private sector can create tremendous value and efficiency. Our ability to research and explore new and more efficient methods of delivering services is what has been key to our success.
