The San Bernardino County Fire Department has placed a brand-new ambulance at the Yucca Valley fire station. Hilary Sloane has details…
Station 41 in Yucca Valley received a brand-new sporty red Medic Ambulance Tuesday. The ambulance is a four-wheel-drive 2020 Ford F-450, which makes it easier to get to hard-to-reach calls on rough roads and off-road. The ambulance also includes wireless headsets to decrease hearing loss and allows communication for the patient attendant and driver; an auto-load gurney to reduce injuries to employees and patients; an LED light package to trigger green lights at traffic signals; and an iPad-based computer system for call information and mapping. The old ambulance will be moved to reserve status and will be used when a front-line ambulance is out of service for maintenance.
