Posted: Mar 24, 2017

Birmingham Fire Station to Close During Construction

It was a great run for the Chesterfield Fire Station. "Birmingham firefighters have responded to emergencies from the Chesterfield Fire Station for the past 62 years," Birmingham Fire Chief John Connaughton said. "I worked out of the station for many years and I have a lot of wonderful memories.

The old fire hall at Chesterfield and West Maple Road is being replaced with a modern two-story station that will house two engines, two rescue vehicles, a Hazmat truck and living quarters for up to four firefighters.

Robbins Rolls Out New Firetruck

The Robbins Fire and Rescue Department recently replaced a fire engine that has been in service for more than 30 years. The town's Board of Commissioners approved the purchase of a new engine, which cost $428,636, in January.

Ripley County Purchasing Two Ambulances

RIPLEY COUNTY, Ind. - The Ripley County Commissioners approved to purchase two new ambulances for the county. According to the Versailles Republican, Scott Huffman, county EMS director, told the commissioners that one ambulance at Milan keeps breaking down, which could put lives in danger, and another ambulance in Batesville is near its end of service life.

County Dedicates $793,000 Worth of New Ambulances

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.
