New ambulance debuts at FDIC

      One of the two new ambulances to serve the White River Township Fire Department was on display last week at the Fire Department Instructor's Conference (FDIC) in Indianapolis.  Both ambulances were delivered from the manufacturer (Wheeled Coach of Winter Park, Florida) a couple of weeks ago and are being readied for street service.  As part of an agreement with Wheeled Coach, one of the two units was entered into the exhibits portion of the week-long event at FDIC.  At the end of the conference the unit will be returned to the fire department.  Both units are currently being fitted with equipment and other service items and will be inspected and certified by the State of Indiana in the coming week.  It is anticipated that both units will be placed in service shortly thereafter and ready to begin transports.  See related stories HERE, HERE, and HERE.
