Roosevelt Ambulance 736 Dedication [9-28-14]

On the afternoon of Sunday, September 28th, 2014 the Roosevelt Fire Department held a dedication ceremony for the new Ambulance 736 – a 2014 Ford Ambulance with Stryker Power Load Assist. The ambulance helps make up the department’s Emergency Company 1 and will officially be in service as of September 29th, 2014. The Sunday ceremony consisted of words from Roosevelt Chief of Department Derrick Fennell, the Captain of Roosevelt Emergency Company 1, and words and a blessing from a member of the clergy. The new 736 replaces Ambulance 7361 – a 1998 International. The older ambulance will still be used by the department as a backup unit. The best of luck to the Roosevelt Fire Department with this new piece of apparatus.
