Baby passes away in Interior B.C. town while waiting for ambulance
An eight-month-old baby has passed away in a small Interior B.C. town while waiting for an ambulance.
When the child went into cardiac arrest the evening of Thursday an ambulance was called. But there was no ambulance available in Barriere, and instead an ambulance had to be dispatched from Kamloops. Unfortunately, the ambulance arrived too late, as the child had passed away.For a number of years Barriere and area had been under 24-hour ambulance coverage, until last summer when the Province revamped the community’s ambulance coverage to become a 24/7 Alpha Station.
He added the problem of dealing with the loss of local ambulance service has been going on for a long time. BC Emergency Health Services has stated the closest available ambulance was dispatched to the Barriere call on Thursday, and they will be reviewing the call.
