RESTON, Va. (AP) - Loudoun County fire officials say residents taken by a Fairfax County ambulance from a Loudoun County address will be billed.

Federal regulations require the billing, officials say, as Fairfax and other local jurisdictions charge their own residents for the transport.

Fairfax has agreed to respond to calls in Loudoun County.

Patients will be charged $400 for basic life support, $500 for advanced life support and $675 for second-level advanced life support, in addition to $10 per mile.
