STREATOR – The city of Streator continues to take action toward providing its own emergency services. At a special council meeting on Tuesday, officials approved the purchase of an ambulance, making it the third the city will own. Currently, according to City Manager Dave Plyman, the city will require three ambulances total, two frontline vehicles, and a backup. Plyman says legalities within the contract with AMR, American Medical Response, are still being worked through and is expecting to present a proposal at their next meeting. AMR will provide emergency service personnel to the city.
