Ambulance district to purchase lifesaving devices
CAMDEN COUNTY – The Camden County Ambulance
District (CCAD) voted last week to purchase six LUCAS CPR
devices for the ambulances.
The purchase was not a budgeted item but tax revenue was higher
than expected which allows for the district to purchase the life
saving devices now and not budget it for next year.
The district had projected revenue of $1,605,000 for the fiscal
year but actually received $1,652,000. The district decided to
use a portion of the extra money this year on the LUCAS systems
and on the purchase of 14 new radios (one radio in the front of
the ambulance and another in the back).
“Eight or nine years ago we bought seven LUCAS devices,” the
CCAD chairman said. “They are beyond repairable. In fact the
last one broke and they sent us a new one for the cost of the
repair.”
