Snow Hill (NC) Gets First New Ambulance in More than 30 Years

A volunteer emergency medical services station in the east has a new ambulance for the first time in more than 30 years. Snow Hill EMS Chief Steve Gilbert says the department's previous two ambulances were old and unreliable. 
 
But now the station has a new, $140,000 dollar state of the art ambulance made possible by a $25,000 dollar Department of Insurance Fire Grant and donations.

Gilbert says Walstonburg will discontinue ambulance services in June.
