Training topic tonight: Firefighter CPR. This includes dragging the firefighter to a safe location, initiating compressions and removal of a lot of gear to provide further care. Something we hope to never need to do but so important to be ready as a team.

We're excited to share an update on the Franklin Volunteer Fire Department's ambulance replacement project!

After nearly two years of planning, research, grant writing, and coordination, the department was awarded a $300,000 grant through the Connecticut Department of Economic and Community Development (DECD).The department members were able to significantly reduce the cost of replacing our aging 25 year old ambulance and invest in reliable emergency medical equipment for our community.

The total cost of the new ambulance is approximately $457,000. In addition to the DECD grant, the remaining project costs are being funded through membership fundraising and ambulance service revenue earned by the department, not through additional taxation.

The new ambulance has been built and delivered. It is currently undergoing final preparations, including installation of emergency warning equipment, radios, graphics, and required inspections before being placed into service.

Replacing an ambulance is a major investment that helps ensure our EMTs and firefighters have safe, dependable equipment to provide emergency medical care for years to come.

We'll be sure to share more updates, including photos, as the ambulance gets closer to entering service!
