The 1994 Type 3 ambulance is equipped with lights and a siren and has the capacity to transport three patients lying down.
“The entire EMS program will benefit from this ambulance,” said Kasey Himes, an emergency services management faculty at KCC. “Our students can now get invaluable real-world experience before they enter the workforce.”
According to Bonnie Overcash, vice president of BVAS, many of the two dozen volunteers who make up BVAS have taken courses at KCC. She said the volunteers decided together that donating the ambulance to KCC is its best use in the community.
