Statement from Mayor Sharon Tucker in support of the Three Rivers Ambulance Authority.
Fort Wayne, Indiana (December 18, 2025) – Public safety and emergency medical services are a top priority in the City of Fort Wayne.
I want to take this opportunity to respond to the news conference conducted earlier today by the Allen County Board of Commissioners.
The Three Rivers Ambulance Authority (TRAA) and the Consolidated Communications Partnership (CCP) do not have an interlocal agreement regarding emergency medical dispatch services.
The City of Fort Wayne does have an interlocal agreement with TRAA for emergency medical dispatch services that’s working very well to protect the public and meet the needs of residents in the event of an emergency. The residents of Fort Wayne can take comfort in knowing that these services will continue.
Allen County’s Board of Commissioners last December withdrew from the Fort Wayne-Allen County interlocal agreement that oversees emergency medical services. It is not the responsibility of the CCP or Fort Wayne to provide or subsidize emergency medical dispatch services to residents outside of Fort Wayne.
This situation brought up today by the Board of Commissioners is not an issue that’s the responsibility of the City of Fort Wayne.
