    Cottonwood AZ (November 25, 2015) – On Thursday the Verde Valley Fire District (VVFD) took delivery of a new Ambulance.  This Ambulance will become one of our 2 first due units responding out of Fire Station 31.  We researched and developed specification for this Ambulance based on the Districts needs, neighboring agency Ambulance, history and reliability of our older units, and cost to stay within our budget. 

    This Ambulance is a 2015, 4500 Dodge, and has a 6.7 liter Cummins Engine.  Some of the other features are: a chassis designed for a smoother ride including liquid spring technology, all aluminum body, a refrigerator to maintain a constant temperature for the drug box, and is completely KKK certified and is compliant under the National Fire Protection Agency.

    In addition to the specification we enhance safety as a priority which included a safety EBS child safety seat, back up camera system, hops air bag system for the patient, and Stryker Power Lift Stretcher. 

    Now reaching over 2000 calls annually the VVFD will revisit the condition of this ambulance after 15 years of service to determine if we can simply replace the chassis and salvage the module to save cost.

    We are also proud to say all the efforts put into the purchase of this new ambulance was by our own firefighters which resulted in cost savings and a design to better serve you.

    The Sad Lesson of Tyre Nichols
    By Tommy Acosta
    Having grown up in the mean streets of the Bronx there is one lesson we learn early on, and that’s don’t mess with the cops when they got you down, and outnumbered. The beating of Tyre Nichols at the hands of the police preceding his death at the hospital could have been avoided if only he had the sense to not resist them. People fail to understand that on the streets, cops are basically “God.” You can’t fight them. If it takes one, two, five, ten or twenty officers they will eventually put you down and hurt you if they have to in the process of detaining or arresting you. In the Bronx we would fight amongst ourselves but when the cops came it was “Yes, officer. No, officer,” and do our best to look as innocent as possible. People need to understand that cops on the street represent the full power of the state and government. Read more→
