Pea Ridge Fire And Ambulance Depts. Merge

The Pea Ridge Ambulance service is being merged into that city's Fire Department.

After operating as separate entities for more than 20 years the two will be under direction of fire chief Frank Rizzio who has required all firefighters to be trained as first responders.

"There are lots of grants for the ambulance that we can't receive without being part of the fire department," said Bobby Kitterman, who resigned as director of the ambulance service.

The merger will require a city ordinance to become official.
