Monday, April 3, 2023, went to Gardner Hannaford, checked out at 12:04. Departed and headed to route 2A and as I drove by Salvadore chevy dodge jeep, I spotted Templeton ambulance in parking lot. Since it is a ford truck, no reason to be there, I turned into dodge and drove around, two people in the ambulance and one exited, went into building, then the Templeton fire chief vehicle began to exit parking area following the Templeton ambulance. So, if anyone would have needed an ambulance yesterday at around this time, you have been waiting a while. Not sure what the procedure would have been if a 911 call came in for ambulance, but, you might have had to wait a bit longer than if the ambulance was where it was supposed to be. Now most people might not think this a big deal, however, if you were someone who did call 911 at this time and needed ambulance for a life saving incident, police officer showed up first, did cpr for a long period of time before ambulance showed up, you might feel different. In my opinion, this is another example of poor management of personnel, service/equipment in Templeton. Not the first and probably not the last. The town owned ambulance is to provide life saving service to residents, the fire chief suv is primarily a vehicle to get the chief back and forth from home to work and vice versa and to any official duties. Surely there is a better way to pick up a vehicle used for personal use other than using an ambulance. Team Templeton needs to work on management and budget, I hope more team Templeton residents show up for annual town meeting in May. Your money and you have final say on if it is available for spending or not.
