AVALON - The Avalon Rescue Squad Inc. has purchased a new 2018 Ford E450 Horton Ambulance. The purchase of the new ambulance was made possible through the squad's own three-year fundraising effort without the need for financing nor funds from the Avalon municipal budget.
The new ambulance includes the latest and most advanced safety features to protect patients and members in the event of an accident. The ambulance has the largest patient care area of any unit in southern New Jersey, which affords sufficient room for extra caregivers and equipment during the most severe medical emergencies.
Â
The new ambulance cost about $217,000 and will replace an ambulance that has been used by rescue personnel for the past 14 years. The Horton-specific features on the ambulance provide for a much smoother and quieter ride for patients; easy visibility of the unit by other motorists; and safety features that include airbags, seatbelts and progressive foam protection in the event of an accident.
