(Wakita-AP) -- A north-central Oklahoma town is giving up its
ambulance service because of a lack of volunteers.
Officials in the Grant County town of Wakita decided to give up
the license in hopes they can recruit more volunteers and renew the
it later.
Town Clerk Kathy Morrison says at least one emergency medical
technician must be on call 24 hours at day, seven days a week, and
the town had just one volunteer.
Morrison says many of the town's previous volunteers quit
because they had to leave Wakita to find jobs.
