Delaware County’s new Medic 1 is now in service at its Station in Delaware!
Four New Ambulances Join the Delaware County EMS Fleet!
Today, Delaware County EMS took delivery of four brand-new ambulances as part of our ongoing commitment to providing reliable, high-quality emergency medical services to the residents and visitors of Delaware County.
We recently transitioned to frazerbilt as our ambulance manufacturer. These new ambulances feature a door-forward design and will replace the current units assigned to:
🚑 Medic 1 – Delaware
🚑 Medic 4 – Radnor
🚑 Medic 8 – Scioto
🚑 Medic 11 – Berkshire
The ambulances currently serving these stations will be reassigned to our reserve fleet, allowing us to retire some of our oldest backup units.
This investment is about more than just four new ambulances. It’s about maintaining a dependable fleet that is ready to respond when our community needs us most.
One of the reasons we selected Frazer is its reputation for quality construction and its ability to remount ambulance modules onto new chassis in the future. This approach will allow us to extend the useful life of these ambulances while reducing long-term replacement costs.
As Delaware County continues to grow, we’re committed to ensure we’re prepared to serve our communities for years to come.
