Fire department presents new ambulance to council; in-service steps described
Summary
Fire/EMS staff showed council members a new ambulance and reported manuals and minor adjustments remain before it goes into service; council members welcomed a demonstration at a future meeting.
Fire/EMS staff said the city has received a new ambulance; staff reported receiving new manuals and said some final adjustments (for example, wheel installation and equipment tweaks) remain before the unit is placed in service. "We received our new manuals... as soon as we get the gray wheels installed, then ... put that in service," a fire representative (speaker 9) said.
Council members described the vehicle as large and well-equipped for patient care. "It is a beast," a council speaker said, and the fire department invited council to a future walk-through and demonstration of the apparatus. No funding or procurement controversy was raised during the report.
