New Ambulances Arrive in North AdamsBy Tammy Daniels

The North Adams Ambulance Serviced accepted the delivery of two brand-new ambulances today. Manager John Meaney Jr. stands with the new Unit 1. |
NORTH ADAMS, Mass. — Twins were delivered this morning to 10 Harris St., making for a very happy crew at North Adams Ambulance Service.
Named Unit 1 and Unit 3, they've been eagerly awaited since the previous Unit 3 went up in flames last September. The service has been using a used 1994 ambulance purchased from New Jersey as a backup Unit 3.
"They both have less than a thousand miles on them," beamed service Manager John Meaney Jr., adding it was a big relief to have the new ambulances.
 This vehicle replaces one that caught fire last year. The units are delivered as shells so they can equipped or modified by the service. |
There was originally only going to be one ambulance, the replacement for Unit 3, itself only a year old when the cab caught fire. The manufacturer, Yankee Fire and Rescue Inc. of Palmer, offered a discount for two, so it was decided to replace the aging Unit 1 at the same time. The service replaces its vehicles depending on usage.
The 2009 ambulances cost $92,000 each. Delivered as "shells," they were being prepared for service with radios and equipment.
Meaney said Unit 1 should be on the road today; Unit 3 should be ready tomorrow. There would be no lapse of coverage while the units were being switched over.
The ambulances will operate on 30-day licenses until they can be inspected and certified by the state.
Meaney said the 1994 vehicle will be maintained as a backup and stored off-site; the new 2009s will join Unit 2, a 2005 model.
"We have a really solid fleet now," said Meaney. |

| That is great news - North Adams should be proud. This ambulance service seems to be growing at a rapid pace as I have seen it grow over the years as a neighbor to it. My only question is where are you going to keep all these ambulances? Looks kind of cramped at your station. | | from: Neighbor | on: 03-25-2009 |
