| In late June, the chassis for the new Ambulance 8-5-16 arrived at the factory of PL Custom. Since that time, construction has progressed steadily. The Box has been mounted and the ambulance has been painted.
The crews are currently working on assembling the interior components and other details.
Construction of the new ambulance will continue and the members of CFD eagerly look forward to taking delivery sometime in October.
The ambulance committee will be travelling to New Jersey during the first week of October to go over any final details and inspect the new ambulance before it comes home to Long Island.
The vehicle is being built by PL Custom of Manasquan New Jersey, and was sold through Specialty Vehicle Sales of Plainview.
Some of the Highlights of the New Ambulance Include:
2011 Chevrolet Chassis with 6.6 liter Duramax diesel engine.
PL Custom Medallion Series Type III Modular Ambulance.
Aluminum Construction
Custom Compartmentalization
LED Lighting
Air horns
Enhanced Safety Striping
More updates will be posted as the project nears completion.
The Commissioners and Chiefs would like to Thank all of the members who have dedicated time to this project
