4/17/2009 at 9:38 AM
It looks Brandon will be getting a new "next generation" ambulance on a pilot basis this spring...
features to include:
- no-lift stretcher systems to reduce the risk of injury:
- softer suspension to ensure a more comfortable ride for patients:
- new reflective markings and emergency lighting to make the ambulances more visible in all weather conditions:
- six airbags to better protect occupants in the event of a crash:
- improved access to the equipment used to treat patients, while allowing paramedics to use their seatbelts: and
- backup cameras to improve the driver's field of vision.
