🚑 A Quick Note About Our Loaner Ambulance
You may notice an ambulance on the road that looks a little different from the units you’re accustomed to seeing. This unit is currently serving as a loaner ambulance for our department, and we are extremely grateful to the manufacturer for providing it while one of our ambulances is back at their facility being evaluated and repaired due to a frame-height issue.
The timing of this loaner has been especially important for us. Last week, one of our 2015 ambulances suffered a catastrophic engine failure, and we currently have another ambulance undergoing a scheduled remount. Without this loaner unit, our backup fleet would be significantly limited.
Although it may look different, this ambulance is fully equipped, fully functional, and compliant with Texas DSHS requirements. It carries our department name and appropriate Texas identification numbers and responds to calls just like the ambulances you normally see serving our community.
We sincerely thank the manufacturer for working with us and providing this unit. Maintaining reliable ambulance coverage and having backup resources available is critical to ensuring that we can continue providing uninterrupted emergency medical services to our citizens.
So, if you see this slightly different-looking ambulance responding through the county—it’s us, and it’s ready to serve! 🚑
