North County EMS is underfunded and understaffed, workers say
STANWOOD — Anna Melillo feels unsupported at work.
The paramedic at North County Regional Fire Authority said her division lacks structure and training. No one is there to correct her if she makes a mistake in the field.
That’s because the Emergency Medical Services division lacks leadership, she said.
Melillo is one of many first responders at North County Fire who say the division is flailing. Officials say they’re working on it.
