A few dozen New Yorkers weighed in on the change, calling the increase “unwarranted,” according to the public notice released Friday.

The FDNY countered the complaints, saying the increase would be covered by insurance and would help offset the burden of a round-the-clock 911 system.

The department also noted it offers programs to low-income people to help offset ambulance bills.
