Deer Park Ambulance Get New Rides

Deer Park Ambulance

The Deer Park Volunteer Ambulances have a new look! This past year the Deer Park volunteer ambulance service was able to purchase two new ambulances, one through a grant.  In cooperation with Precious Metals, SCFD #4, Ethan Green, and Kinetek, these two new vehicles were given custom vinyl vehicle wraps.

Deer Park Ambulance is a non profit, life support group that has been serving Deer Park and the outlying community since 1948, and is currently staffed with two ambulance crews and one paramedic chase car at all times.  In 2019, the group responded to 4,300 calls for service through 38,000 volunteer staff hours. To view the new ambulances or get more information about supporting or volunteering with Deer Park Ambulance, check out their Facebook page or  their website: www.deerparkamb.org.
