New ambulance in Allenton

The Allenton Fire Department recently revealed a new ambulance. It's the Allenton 1353, and it made its in-service debut on Friday, January 2.

Allenton Fire Chief Breuer told WTKM that it's an upgrade.

"There is nothing wrong with the other ambulance, but it is an upgrade for us. We do it on a regular rotation schedule. It includes newer technology. We have a new AED and defibrillator in place with the new ambulance that we are putting on board, and training our people with that. We usually keep our ambulances for ten years. We ordered the new one in March, almost three years ago."    

Before hitting the road, the 1353 received a full professional detail. It was carefully stocked and equipped with top-of-the-line medical equipment, ensuring their crews are ready to provide the highest level of care. 

From bumper to bumper, 1353 is emergency-ready and built to perform when seconds matter most.
