With this addition, the MRVAS fleet will include two four-wheel-drive
and one two-wheel-drive ambulances as well as a four-wheel-drive rescue
truck. The ambulance that is being replaced is a 1997 Ford E-350 diesel
two-wheel-drive with 121,000 miles.
The retired ambulance will
be raffled off as a fundraiser. A maximum of 100 tickets will be sold.
Full refunds will be given if less than 60 tickets are sold. The rig, it
is suggested, might make a great vehicle for a general contractor,
could be converted into a camper or may have many other potential uses
such as a veterinarian's rig, transport for dogs in a doggy daycare or
sled dogs, someone working in property management or even a sag or
support wagon for bike or ski racing. The service last raffled off a
used rig in 2006.
The vehicle comes with two complete sets of
wheels/tires (winter and summer). All emergency equipment, lights,
radios, siren and MRVAS logos will be removed from the vehicle. Tickets
are available by calling 496-8888 or emailing
The
Mad River Valley Ambulance Service is a volunteer-run nonprofit
organization that relies on a combination of grants and donations to
continually improve equipment and training opportunities.
