Alexander starts campaign to raise $150K for new ambulance

By Howard B. Owens

The Alexander Volunteer Fire Department has begun a fundraising campaign to come up with $150,000 for a new ambulance.

The normal lifecycle of an ambulance is 10 years, and the current ambulance is 15 years old.

They've set up a GoFundMe.com page.

The page states:

We are a small farming community and our department is made up of hard-working community volunteers. Our members are not paid for our medical training and we are not paid for our service. When members of our community call 911, we respond to their emergencies without cost to the patient or their insurance company. Our ambulance receives NO funding from the local government and is funded ENTIRELY by donations and fundraisers.

WE NEED A NEW AMBULANCE TO CONTINUE PROVIDING CARE TO OUR NEIGHBORS!
