Smith said there is a SCEMS ambulance at the South Deerfield Fire District, the Sunderland Fire Department and the Whately Fire Department. His office is in Deerfield Town Hall. The idea is to consolidate these sites into one location. But the idea of moving the service’s headquarters from Deerfield has upset some of the town’s residents.
