ESD4 decision pending on construction of Natalia ambulance station

By Anton Riecher
Questions as to whether Natalia residents will accept a prefabricated modular building as the new ambulance station over more traditional construction were still under debate during the Medina County Emergency Services District No. 4 board of commissioners meeting Nov. 25.
Board president Steve Smith noted that representatives of Natalia expressed their opinion quite clearly at a February 2025 meeting shortly after he took charge of the board.
“According to them previously, in February, when we told them we were considering all options, they were not at all happy that we were considering this for their property,” Smith said. “They were not happy that we were even considering putting in a modular building.”
Board treasurer Patrick DuBose noted that double-wide mobile homes are commonly used by San Antonio to house ambulance crews in outlying areas. Regardless of the construction type, Natalia residents would “really be happy to have a station over there.”
