So I observed this ambulance coming into my neighborhood and it was coming from Lehigh <\/p>\n\n\n\n

NOW THE NEAREST STATION TO THIS INCIDENT IS STATION 5 LT FRANKLIN WAS IN CHARGE?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Now\u00a0the incident was on 39th Street W and Flora 5 blocks from station 6 our unfinished firehouse that has 1 ambulance, one pumper truck, and 1 brush truck parked in front of a trailer?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SO I ASKED THE DEPUTY WHY LEHIGH AMBULANCE CAME FROM LEHIGH HOMESTEAD?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

PER CONVERSATION LT FRANKLIN AND DEPUTY THEY DID NO HAVE ANY AND THIS ZERO AMBULANCES TO RESPOND TO THIS INCIDENT?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SO AT 1 PM SUNDAY OCTOBER 31, 2021 LEHIGH ACRES WAS LEFT WITH ZERO AMBULANCES TO COVER LEHIGH ACRES?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DEPUTY SAID THEY WERE GOING TO HAVE TO CALL LEE COUNTY IN TO COVER?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SO I ASKED LT FRANKLIN OF STATION 106 TOLD ME HE COULD NOT TALK ABOUT THIS WHEN I ASKED AT THE CONSTRUCTION SITE OF STATION 106?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SO I ASKED THE DEPUTY IF THIS PUBLIC SAFETY CONCERN AND HE SAID YES THIS\u00a0IS A VERY, VERY SERIOUS PROBLEM THAT OCCURS EVERY DAY?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SO I AM ASKING THE LEHIGH ACRES FIRE COMMISSION TO ANSWER TO VOTERS WHY WE HAVE SUCH A SHORTAGE OF AMBULANCES?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

GOV DESANTIS PLEASE ADDRESS THIS WITH ELECTED OFFICIALS AS THIS PUBLIC SAFETY CONCERN<\/p>\n\n\n\n

HAVING ZERO AMBULANCES FOR 135 THOUSAND CITIZENS IN LEHIGH AND THE TAXPAYERS\u00a0HAVING ZERO AMBULANCES\u00a0TO ME IS A VERY SERIOUS PUBLIC SAFETY CONCERN?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SO GOV DESANTIS CAN YOU INVESTIGATE THE LEHIGH ACRES FIRE COMMISSIONERS?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
