flag Blount County, Alabama, risks losing ambulance services by year-end unless a property tax is reinstated to fund emergency medical care.

flag Blount County, Alabama, may lose its ambulance services by December 31, 2025, if the county commission does not reinstate a two-mill property tax that would generate about $50 per household annually to fund emergency medical services. flag Without sustainable funding, emergency response and patient transportation could be severely disrupted, with no new ambulance contracts available without a subsidy. flag The Blount County Fire and EMS Association is urging residents to support the tax to prevent a collapse in emergency care, advocating for either a county-based EMS system or a unified fire district with guaranteed funding. flag The commission has not yet decided, but officials acknowledge the urgency of the situation.
