So someone want to give us some background on Newburgh EMS? Are they having issues, is this just a normal fundraising event?

Like most VAC's (and a lot of us ), they have issues. However, I believe that this is just a normal fundraising event.

The Town of Newburgh Volunteer Ambulance Corp d/b/a Town of Newburgh EMS, runs (has) 3 ambulances. They have contracted paid staff (2 EMT's) that work 6a-6p, 7 days/week. They also bill for service.

The town is approximately 47 sq miles with a small area in the north also covered by Plattekill Fire Dept which runs a BLS ambulance.
