central - east central Minnesota - | DJ - 4/21/2024 12:19 Firefighters Union in SPRINGFIELD is trying to convince mayor and council that the fire department should get into the ambulance business. I would like to include the approximate cost of a new fully equipped ambulance in my comments on this idea. Does anyone have an estimate of cost for a new ambulance ? Thanks
Can't comment on the price - except don't be apposed to used, if you are lucky enough to find one (there come up from time to time). The single best thing about having rural / local ambulance (EMT) is dedication. Here in Mn, there are territories set up for Ambulance routes. No cutting into others territory - but, they do have to work together and back each other up. Our locale FD has EMT/Ambulance service (with a territory). They are getting called into cover other territories more often then not. Our FD / EMT service is funded by it service members (several townships formed a fire district), they do an excellent job of budgeting and working within and improvising to meet the different codes to meet the equipment needs. The biggest issue with rural districts is solicitating to get enough help (volunteers) to keep it all going. The ambulance / EMT service offered in our fire district is the best kept secrete of the communities it serves. Absolute BEST SERVICE offered !
