Henry County approves $1.5 million ambulance purchase
The Henry County Fire Department is getting several new ambulances.
The Henry County Board of Commissioners voted at its April 7 regular meeting to approve the purchase of six Ram ambulances, seven auto pulse systems and five AirPak systems for the Henry County Fire Department at a total cost of $1,503,545.
The vote to approve was unanimous. The move was noted by county staff as an operational need due to the department’s aging fleet, and deputy county manager Brad Johnson pointed out that their future goal is to begin a replacement-remount plan for county ambulances.
The price of the Braun custom ambulances is $1,359,240; the auto pulse systems from the Zoll Medical Corporation cost $99,540; and the AirPak systems cost $44,765.
