| The Chiefs of the Cutchogue Fire Department and the Commissioners of the Cutchogue Fire District are pleased to announce the arrival of our new ambulance 8-5-17.
In early July, the new rig was delivered to the firehouse by salesman Allan Rich. Awaiting its arrival was a crowd of anxious rescue squad members and Committee members, many of whom have put many hours of research and effort into the project..
The vehicle was built by PL Custom of Manasquan New Jersey, and was sold through Hendrickson Fire Equipment.
Some of the Highlights of the New Ambulance Include:
2026 Ford F550 Chassis with diesel engine.
Four Wheel Drive
PL Custom Medallion Series Type III Modular Ambulance.
Aluminum Construction
Custom Compartmentalization
LED Lighting
Air horns
Enhanced Safety Striping
Enhanced passenger safety features protecting both the patient and the EMS providers.
Stryker power load stretcher
Over the course of the past several weeks members have been training with the new ambulance and outfitting it with equipment in preparation for service.
The new unit replaces that our oldest ambulance that was originally built in 1997 and re-chassied in 2015.
The Commissioners and Chiefs would like to Thank all of the members who have dedicated time to this project and hope the new unit will serve the residents of the Cutchogue Fire District for many years to come.
The new 8-5-17 responded to its first call this afternoon 12:11p.m.
