Just give it a couple more years and then AMR will own everything.

Actually Falck reports 35,000 employees in 46 nations, which includes emergency medical, fire, tow, safety education... basically they do everything public safety. Envision (AMRs parent company) reports 35,000 employees in 1 nation. Rural metro has 8,000 employees in 1 nation. So Falck is actually about 1/5 smaller than the new AMR (each companies successors and subsidiaries are included), not including the new merger with R/M. I live in Orange County and hear all the time how big Falck is, no it isnt, it is the same size as EVHC and just as diverse. Their ambulance operations are actually very small. the majority of their business is tow trucks and industrial health/safety.

Give it time, Harvey will either retire or cross the rainbow bridge. then AMR will offer his family more money than they can refuse, then American ambulance, then Norcal ambulance and they will have the entire western US on lockdown, just wait and see.

Someone's a little late to the quoting party... LOL!Only slightly?
The FTC, or whatever it's called, approved the merger on October 1st. Now we need to wait for the other regulatory organizations to approve it but the Federal one was the biggest road block. So sounds like every thing is moving forward! They expect to be merged by the end of this year.

Does anyone know if they are going to keep the Rural Metro name or change it all to AMR?

Yep. AMR is also sending down paramedics from other divisions to temporarily fill open medic positions for ~15 days.

You need a P card and they are only trying to send down supervisors or medics who have worked in the system before. Our newest supervisor got sent down today for his first shift.

M&M? I figured I took a bullet covering Blythe, I may get the "golden ticket" for SD haha. Then I saw medic positions.
