4,500 Sign Up for Murrieta’s Annual Paramedic Fee Plan
About 4,500 Murrieta households and businesses have subscribed to the city fire department's voluntary paramedic fee, which allows them to receive paramedic services -- such as ambulance and emergency care and response services -- for one year at a fixed rate of $24 or $48, based on income, rather than being sent a $350 bill for paramedic services. The fee was instituted as a way to keep the department well-funded.
