City Council learned Monday that Fire Chief Mike Murphy received a letter, preceding a formal agreement, permitting the island’s fire engines to carry 28 drugs used to provide emergency services. He will also be allowed to equip engines with 12-lead state-of-the-art heart monitors. The letter was received from Collier County’s Medical Director Dr. Robert Tober. The change allows fire engines and EMS ambulances to carry the same medicines with the exception of two prohibited narcotics.
