PHOTOS: Two more ambulances are now available to respond to emergency medical calls in Monroe County.
That will be followed sometime in the coming months with another two, for a total of four, additional ambulances that will be deployed by Monroe County Fire Protection District.
The purchase of the four ambulances was made possible by action of Monroe County government—county commissioners and county councilors. Some of the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funding that was received by Monroe County was authorized for purchase of ambulances—about a year and a half ago.
It was on Dec. 6, 2022 when Monroe County councilors approved the $1,217,970 appropriation of ARPA money.
MFPD’s deputy chief of EMS and special operations chief Matthew Bright told The B Square that delivery of the second two will come before year’s end.
