| On 18:00 hours on Friday, April 20'Th, Spotsylvania Volunteer Rescue Squad put Unit #25 in service at Rescue Station 2. It will be running as Rescue/Medic 2-1, replacing an older unit that was donated to Culpepper County.
The unit is built on a Ford F-450 chassis with an Osage body, and has a 100% LED emergency lighting system. It also features a FireCom intercom system, On-Spot "Chains-on-Demand" traction system, and an electric lift for the main oxygen supply bottle. In a change from older units, it is also supplied with an electric Power-PRO cot, Stair-PRO stair chair (both from Stryker), and a 12 lead version of the Medtronic LIFEPAK 12.
This unit was purchased and provisioned by the Spotsylvania Volunteer Rescue Squad, using donations from the citizens of Spotsylvania County. No taxpayer dollars were required. |
