In November, FCI Constructors Inc. broke ground on a $2.8 million, six-month project to remodel the Greater Eagle Fire Protection District Fire Station 9, VailDaily.com reported.

The station, which will be operational during construction, is getting a facelift and will be more welcoming to the community, according to the report. It also aims to adhere to best-known health practices for fire stations, the report said.

A fire official said the renovation is long overdue, explaining that the station, which was built in 1977, originally served as a garage for volunteer engines, the report said.

Experts recommend fire stations be sectioned into three hazard zones — hot, warm and cold — which Fire Station 9 will comply with once the remodel is complete, the report said. There will be structural separations between contaminated materials, working and living spaces in order to reduce exposure to cancer-causing chemicals, according to the report.

Wheeled Coach, a brand of REV Ambulance Group Orlando, Inc., a subsidiary of REV Group, Inc., and a premier manufacturer of ambulances for municipal and commercial departments, announces the delivery of 28 new ambulances to Kuwait Oil Company (KOC) for use at their facility in Ahmadi, Kuwait.

The delivery included 11 Type 2 Chevrolet 3500 vans and 17 Type 1 Ford F450 modular ambulances. The ambulances were sold to KOC by Wheeled Coach’s official representative in Kuwait, Yusuf A. Alghanim & Sons Co, and were built on chassis that were supplied by Alghanim & Sons Co. The vehicles were outfitted with key features, including Wheeled Coach’s signature Cool-Bar^®, a patented external condenser that greatly increases airflow, and exclusive Per4Max^® seatbelts, a four-point restraint system with controlled deceleration that allows the crew mobility while being safely buckled in. The ambulances were designed and built-in accordance with U.S. Triple-K standards. 

“We are proud to have had the opportunity to partner with Yusuf A. Alghanim & Sons Co to provide Kuwait Oil Company with this fleet of Wheeled Coach ambulances,” said George Petropoulos, Vice President of Sales, REV Ambulance Group. “Wheeled Coach has a legacy of providing American quality and durability to EMS providers across the globe.”
