=======================

Pro EMS from Cambridge Mass has been providing ALS to Concord for
approx 20 years - before that - Emerson Hospital provided paramedics

Pro EMS staffed 1 or 2 ALS SUVs in the area - 1 in lincoln and 1 in
acton - they served weston + concord + carlisle + acton + boxborough +
stow + maynard + ?wayland?

possibly acton FD and wayland FD have upgraded to als - but that
leaves approx 5 FDs with sketchy ALS coverage - and they are some of
the richest towns around - its bizarre

the Pro-EMS HQ is approx 12 air miles to the east of concord - which
contributes to the sketchy als coverage
