Gibbon Volunteer Fire Department receives new ambulance
After signing a contract to begin the process of purchasing a new ambulance in May of 2022, the Gibbon Volunteer Fire Department received its new unit on Thursday, May 15, according to Gibbon Fire Chief Rick Brown. Chief Brown said that the department has 2009 and 2016 units. The new unit replaces the 2009 model, which will be sold. He related that the department has been saving for a new unit since right after purchasing the 2016 vehicle and when the new unit was ordered, it was expected that it would take at least 24 months to receive it. “There are a lot of new features that come with a new one,” explained Chief Brown. “It’s a bigger truck on an F550 chasis and has air ride suspension and we purchased a power load cot to help with lifting the cot.” (–courtesy photo)
