These ambulances are much more than a box of steel that runs on diesel fuel. I have witnessed firsthand the magic that takes place in the back of an ambulance. These units will bear witness to lives being saved, families being comforted and children being born into this world.
The county will deploy them at New Baltimore, Remington and Warrenton — the three busiest stations. In future years, more new ambulances will replace older units, standardizing the vehicles and taking some fund-raising pressure off volunteers.
