June 2003

The Fairfield Fire and EMS proudly announces the arrival of one of the finest Emergency Medical Response vehicles available today. A brand new HORTON Model 553B ambulance has arrived for driver training and radio installation. Prior to being placed in service however, the finishing touches such as decals and equipment stocking must be completed.

After 8 months of careful review and sales demonstrations, the review committee presented their recommendation to the Fire Company Board of Directors on December 18, 2002, to place an order for the vehicle. At an estimated cost of $126, 000, this vehicle will provide state-of-the-art services to or 1,429 Ambulance Association members and their families, as well as any party in need of care and transportation by the Fairfield Fire and EMS organization.

This organization made up of your neighbors who give freely of their time and expertise to provide VOLUNTEER services to their community, responded to 467 calls for help in 2002. You, too, can be a proud part of this piece of American heritage. Come out and join us and help us ensure that the fire protection, emergency medical services, and continuing community good will prevail in Fairfield.

Any Tuesday evening we can be found at the Fire Station. Stop in and visit and see the new addition to our services.
