Today, the East Amherst Fire Department placed into service our new, state-of-the-art Advanced Life Support ambulance. The new ambulance has 4WD capability, a large patient compartment, and a safety restraint system that enables caregivers to remain safely seatbelted while performing patient care. The ambulance is equipped with a new hydraulic stretcher, a new stair chair, a new Lucas automated CPR Device, cardiac monitor-defibrillator, and an array of emergency medications. Our new ambulance and equipment will enable our EMTs, Advanced EMTs, and Paramedics to provide cutting edge emergency medical services to East Amherst and neighboring communities. Thank you all for your support.
