Benton (CO) Fire Department Gets New Ambulance

FRANKLIN CO. -- Emergency response could soon come a little quicker for people in Benton. Wednesday, the fire department unveiled its new ambulance, and it didn't cost the city a dime. The next time a Benton resident has an emergency, they could see fire crews roll up in a new vehicle.

West Frankfort had an extra ambulance they weren't sure what to do with until Mayor Tom Jordan suggested donating it to another community.

Chief Allen says he knew what an asset it would be.

"It also takes more manpower and, of course more training, but I believe the quality of service will benefit the citizens of Benton," he said.
