BAYFIELD COUNTY - Bayfield County is seeking proposals from outside ambulance providers to help backstop its volunteer EMS system as staffing shortages and rising call volumes strain emergency response services. County officials say the goal is to supplement, not replace, local volunteer ambulance agencies. The county reported increasing missed calls and declining volunteer availability, prompting plans for a countywide EMS safety net that could include contracted ambulance services, quick-response vehicles, or shared staffing models. Officials expect to review proposals and consider long-term solutions as they prepare for 2027 budget decisions aimed at improving EMS coverage and response reliability across the county.
