The new 2010 Chevy MedTec ALS Ambulance was put into service in April of 2010. This ambulance is a Chevy 4500 cut away chassis with a Duramax Diesel engine. The truck is 8" longer and the patient care department has been redesigned - creating more head room for our EMS personnel to work.The outside light bar has been updated and all the lights on the vehicle are now LEDs. There is also a new compartment installed for fire gear and breathing apparatus for the paramedic/firefighter. This will allow these individuals to be prepared with personal protective equipment if needed for life safety incident. They will be able to enter a hazardous environment while protecting themselves to help someone if the immediate need arises.
