The Dover/Sherborn/Millis/Medfield "contract" is not much of anything. AMR was supposed to be able to house an ALS unit at the Dover fire station, however a legal agreement was never worked out. Instead, AMR operates a flycar (MW3) that is sometimes in the towns and sometimes coming out of Natick HQ. It is not dedicated to the towns in a traditional sense and can be found operating in other towns. There is some sort of agreement in that any request for ALS in those towns goes to AMR, but my understanding is that this was already occurring prior to the flycar. ALS fire departments will still come into these towns if they are closer than the AMR truck so I have now conception of how all that goes down. I do live in one of those towns...
Abington has fulltime ALS Fire, that must be a backup deal.
Wayland has and is continuing to hire Fire/Medics. They also have a few part time medics staffing a flycar during the day and use AMR at night.
Any 911 contract that Brewster held in the 90s should be considered a target of the current iteration of Brewster, though given that many of these contracts do not go out to bid unless the municipality is dissatisfied with the service provided, this seems like it could take some time.
