All three of our trucks are now in service with no problems and are serving the communities here in Seneca County as we knew they would.
The attention to detail and follow through that Matt Young and Burgess Ambulance provides is second to none in the industry.
We hope to do business with Matt and Burgess many times again in our future.
Ashland Fire Department Getts New Ambulance, Saves Money
By Dylan Sams T-G Staff Writer Published: December 15, 2015
A fourth ambulance is now in the Ashland City Fire Department's rotation, after an older box was attached to a new van.
Burgess Ambulance Sales Inc. of Loudonville did the remount for the fire department. It allowed the department to essentially take an older piece of equipment and attach it to something new.
AFD Capt. Ken Gardner led the charge on the remount. He said he had heard of the remounts and had never seen them for himself. But during a stop at Burgess Ambulance Sales, he came away impressed.
Part of what made the remount more attractive then buying a new ambulance outright was the cost.
"We did it for around $70,000," Gardner said. "A new squad (vehicle) today would be upwards of $190,000 to $195,000."
About $30,000 went into purchasing the van while another $35,000 went into the upgrades to the box.
Ashland City Fire Chief Rick Anderson described the process as lifting the old box off the chassis, backing the new chassis in alignment with the box and then lowering the box onto the chassis.
"It was still very functional," Anderson said. "It was the truck that was old and not the box."
The box had new LED lights on the inside and cabinets with locks.
"In the past, we weren't able to do that," Gardner said. "That's important because we're carrying about 75 different medicines today." Some of those medications include powerful painkillers, which makes the locks important.
This is the fourth ambulance the department possesses. It is meant to go on all mutual aid calls, squad calls that deal with Milton and Montgomery townships and any calls within the county where a paramedic will be needed.
The new ambulance also has the ability to have chains dropped on the wheels in case of inclement weather.
It was important for the department to save money, as it is preparing to research and buy a new fire engine in 2018. Anderson said the department had just started the process of looking around.
Gardner added he could foresee going through the remounting process another three times for each of the other ambulances. Two midsize ambulances are used regularly for 911 calls while the other is used as a backup and as a bariatric unit, Gardner said.
"If we can do this to save here and do this, that can allow us to do more on the other end," he said.
