Sunnyside considers ambulance utility rate changes to boost EMS services
By Ty Therien,
2026-02-11SUNNYSIDE, Wash. — The Sunnyside City Council convened last night to discuss potential changes to ambulance utility rates. Fire Chief Cameron Haubrich presented revised figures aimed at maintaining sustainable EMS operations while continuing contributions to the city's emergency medical services fund. The proposal includes eliminating out-of-pocket ambulance costs for Sunnyside residents, adding two full-time firefighter positions, and promoting three current firefighters to lieutenant. City leaders believe these staffing changes could enhance response times, overall service, and fire insurance ratings, potentially lowering premiums for homeowners and businesses.
