A wonderful concept with low new costs. It should be copied in other towns.

I'm sure this works well in an area like Minnetonka where the majority of people are taxpayers that only use 9-1-1 in an actual emergency. I'm not sure how well it would work in other areas where certain people call emergency responders at the drop of a hat.

Outstanding service provided by these community service providers. Going above and beyond and proactively reducing the propensity for future emergency calls and/or potentially fatal situations! Kudos to Minnetonka - and other communities across the metro, please take note...

samiam-you don't know what you are talking about here. move along and take the article for what it is worth - a great idea.

This is a great program. I do hope it is copied and proliferates across the state. It is good to see that they are not limiting them selves to what they can provide, but are engaging other community resources.

Good story! And way to go Minnetonka firefighters!

If people in America do not turn their hearts back to God there will be more fires, flood, drought, hail, winds and storms than the year before.

Thank goodness we have firefighters to look after us who have forsaken our lord and in turn cause destruction for some and employment for others. Keep up the good work!
