An ambulance shortage is hitting fire crews in Skagit County. New aid cars are more than a year overdue, the wear and tear is taking a toll, and it couldn't come at a worse time for one local department. Sedro-Woolley firefighters spend a lot of their time making sure their equipment is ready when duty calls. And duty calls a lot. One ambulance has 97,000 miles on it. That's about 30,000 more than Chief Frank Wagner would like. "They get a lot of hard use, a lot of stop and go. It's 1:00 in the morning, cold starts and you're going priority 20 miles up the road," he says. The department needs two new trucks and ordered them in November of 2021. Fifteen months later, they still haven't arrived.
