The Montesano City Council is being asked to green light the purchase of a new ambulance. The ambulance will be a “medium duty” model and will replace the city’s 2006 ambulance.

While medium duty models are more expensive initially, Rux said he believes the medium duty ambulances outlast light duty models by five years.
