In the official 2019 Tri-Town EMS budget document, the last page lists income from Allenstown, Pembroke and other sources. This is followed by expense line items.

Allenstown's net cost is $118,200 and Pembroke's net cost is $147,822. The total operating cost of $747,662 is lower than last year ($766,159), but they also include a possible purchase of a new ambulance at $365,000. It should be noted that the ambulance service is staffed 24x7. The primary ambulance was purchased in 2016, and the backup ambulance was purchased in 2012. Practical and safety considerations have dictated that the primary ambulance can be in service for six years, and then is to be kept as a backup vehicle for another six years.

The following bar chart shows you at a glance where tax money is being spent.
