For the second time in less than a month, a resident of Ashcroft, B.C., died while waiting for health care.

Mayor Barbara Roden told CTV News Vancouver a man was walking his dog Sunday morning when he had a heart attack. The man was within sight of the local ambulance station, but the closest paramedics were about 30 minutes away.

"That's twice in one month now that we've had people in medical distress with no ambulance at the station to give them assistance," Roden said. "No one expects an ambulance parked 24-7 in their driveway in case there's a medical emergency, absolutely. But people do depend on the ambulance service, particularly in rural communities," Roden said.Roden said she wants to see an effort being made to recruit locals to B.C. Emergency Health Services.
