A news conference was held Oct. 5 at the headquarters of Northern Valley Emergency Medical Services, 2375 Levans Road, Ormrod, during which state Sen. Pat Browne, R-16th, presented a $115,000 grant to the ambulance corps.
According to NOVA Executive Director Kristie Wentling, the ambulance corps will use the funds to replace the chassis under a 2018 ambulance that is suffering from four years of hard use.
The original Ford E350 chassis will be replaced by a Ford E450 chassis, a heavier duty chassis which will allow the ambulance to serve longer for NOVA.
NOVA plans to remount an additional three ambulances over the next two years, replacing a current ambulance remount with a new Braun Ambulance.
Also speaking during the presentation were Jason Breidinger, NOVA public relations co-chairman, and Kevin Schmidt, NOVA president.
