FDNY wants to raise the price for an ambulance

NEW YORK - The FDNY wants to hike the price for an ambulance. 

According to a department proposal, the charge for a basic life support ambulance would increase from $900 to $1,385. Mileage costs for traveling to the hospital would jump from $15 a mile to $20. 

The FDNY says it's facing higher costs for services, including a new contract with EMS. 

The department will hold a public hearing next month on the proposal.
