Summary

The Court affirmed summary judgment for Paducah, holding that the city’s fire department is not an emergency medical service first response provider covered by KRS 311A.027(1). The statute applies to institutional employers, and the regulatory framework shows that covered medical first response agencies provide ambulance services; Paducah’s fire department neither maintains an ambulance nor provides ambulance services. Because the statute does not apply, the residency ordinance is not preempted, and the Court did not reach the remaining issues.
