United Ambulance Donates Ambulance to Sabattus Fire Department

 

On Wednesday, May 24 th , United Ambulance Service donated a 1997 Horton Type III ambulance to the Sabattus Fire Department. The department is excited about this donation as the new vehicle replaces the current “Squad 8” which is a 1988 Ford.  “Squad 8” is mainly used as a utility vehicle as it carries necessary equipment to a array of emergency situations.

 

Paul Gosselin, Executive Director for United, is pleased that the vehicle can be utilized for a purpose other than transporting patients. This donation is the second of its kind as United donated a similar ambulance to the Greene Fire Department in 2003.

 

United Ambulance Service has been the primary Emergency Medical Provider for the Town of Sabattus for the past 25 years. In 2005, United responded to 330 emergency calls and transported 240 patients as a result.
