Ambulance association in Lancaster County receives grant for new radios

An ambulance association received a sizable boost to help communicate in the field thanks to a grant.

Reinholds Community Ambulance accepted a $9,825.26 grant from Energy Transfer, a pipeline company, to buy two mobile radio systems for its response vehicles.

โ€œLancaster County upgraded its countywide radio system to Linear Simulcast Modulation technology, and we are in the process of purchasing new mobile radios to coordinate with their system,โ€ said Reinholds Community Ambulance Office Manager Jessica Nino. โ€œThis grant from Energy Transfer has greatly enhanced our communications and will ultimately help our members improve emergency response.โ€

โ€œCommunication is critical during emergency situations, and the need for compatibility among radio systems is very real,โ€ said Josh Snyder, Lead Specialist, Public Affairs at Energy Transfer.
