Winlock’s Town Crier reports the board of Lewis County Medic One eliminated the position held by Grant Wiltbank, who has long been the face of the shared ambulance service.
Reporter-editor Stephen Floyd writes the move came at a Tuesday regular meeting amidst funding challenges and a lettering detailing a no confidence vote from the medics’ union members.
The group, originally the Interlocal Organization of Lewis County Fire Districts 2, 7 and 15 serving the areas of Toledo, Vader-Ryderwood and Winlock, grew to provide services in central Lewis County. Recently Lewis County Fire District 5 in Napavine began contracting with AMR instead.
Floyd also writes Wiltbank was terminated in December as chief of Toledo’s Lewis County Fire District 2.
