HOLLAND, Mich. — Two local businesses teamed up to wrap local ambulances in artwork in an effort to raise awareness toward the difference EMS has on the community they serve.
The artwork was restored by emergency vehicle distributor Emergency Vehicles Plus, with the intention to illustrate the emotional hardships EMS personnel experience during difficult calls.
“The pictures I chose really show an expression of how we feel after a call,” Zeeland Fire Rescue firefighter Adam Thompson told the Holland Sentinel. “I’ve been on scene and I can close my eyes and still see people’s faces.”
Antrim Township Ambulance Authority System Director Wendy Dawson said they now have five ambulances fully wrapped with images that seek to raise heart health, cancer and stroke health awareness.
Apart from the artwork, also placed on the ambulances is the slogan, ‘Your life is your life.’
“We do care about communities. That’s why we came up with that saying … because that’s what we live and breathe each day,” Thompson said.
