Midland Fire Department Purchases Six New Ambulances

The Midland Fire Department paramedics now have six new rides.

According to NewsWest 9, two of the six came in last week with the remaining four coming in Monday.

The ambulances are currently being outfitted but they will be oout on the streets soon serving the citizens.

"It's always nice to get a new vehicle, and the guys are looking forward to it. These are an upgrade of our previous ambulances. So the guys are just really excited about it," said Fire Chief Charles Blumenauer.

The new ambulances are going to be put in place of the older ambulances to help reduce repairs and maintenance.
