Dearborn and Ann Arbor have agreed to rent each other’s ambulances and other emergency vehicles on an as-needed or emergency basis. Both cities agreed to the deal in August. “This would occur if Rescue 1-1 is out of service for an extended period of time or if we wanted to add a second transport unit during peak demand times such as night, home football games,” The Ann Arbor Fire Department posted on Facebook. “We are deeply appreciative and grateful to Dearborn Mayor Abdullah Hammoud and Fire Chief Joseph Murray for their willingness to explore and partner on this.” Murray agreed that the contract is good for both cities. “I can see potential during special events,” he said. “The request originated from Ann Arbor.”
