ADVANCE, N.C. — Editor's Note: The main video in this story is from a January 2022 story on Guilford County emergency services creating a new EMT academy.
A North Carolina county said it was moving an emergency medical services crew out of a community’s fire department over multiple reports of unprofessional conduct by fire personnel.
Davie County has terminated its agreement for housing an EMS transport unit, staff, equipment, and supplies at the Advance Fire Department. County Manager David Bone informed Chief Rodney Miller of the change in a letter dated Jan. 21.
The letter says EMS staff witnessed inappropriate behavior by fire department workers and their guests, including unwanted physical touch and winemaking inside the station. The county and fire department has entered a new agreement to move the EMS unit to a different facility in the community.
