In order to ensure continued coverage of this vital service, Baker County has issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) from potential ambulance service providers for the Baker and Huntington Ambulance Service Areas (ASAs). Baker County is dedicated to selecting an ambulance provider, based on criteria outlined in the RFP, which can offer sustainable services to the citizens in the Baker and Huntington ASAs.
