Indiana Attorney General Todd Rokita has taken legal action against the nonprofit ambulance company, Dillsboro Emergency Ambulance Unit, due to their inadequate response times. Rokita filed a lawsuit citing the company’s failure to respond promptly to emergency calls, putting lives at risk. The company, which was in operation since 1965, lost its service contract in 2024 and has seen a decline in response rates since 2021, answering only 12 percent of calls. Rokita invoked the Indiana Nonprofit Corporation Act in the lawsuit and called for the appointment of a new entity to oversee the ambulance operations. He emphasized the importance of having a reliable ambulance service provider for the residents of Dillsboro and Dearborn County, stating that timely responses are crucial when lives are on the line. The lawsuit aims to ensure that the nonprofit assets of Dillsboro Emergency Ambulance Unit are utilized appropriately to fulfill their intended purpose of providing emergency medical services efficiently.
