GIRARD, Pa. — A $100,000 grant from the Erie County Gaming Revenue Authority helped the West County Paramedic Association purchase a new ambulance.
Executive Director Jamie Snider stated that this is their first new ambulance in a decade, and it will feature a power load system designed to simplify the loading of stretchers, YourErie.com reported.
“We’re doing the best that we can, but we are in desperate need of three to four more ambulances right now in order to help get rid of those ambulances and replace them so that we can do what we need to do to get to the community,” Snider said.
Snider noted that donations and contributions to the West County Paramedic Association will be instrumental in acquiring new ambulances.
