Hesston (KS) Fire/EMS Gets EMS Equipment

Hesston Fire/EMS was able to purchase a new Stryker Power Load System for one if its ambulances thanks to community donations, reports The Hutchinson News.

Hesston Fire/EMS Chief Russ Buller said the equipment enhances the services provided by local first-responders by creating a safer work environment for staff, as well as allowing for safer loading, unloading and transportation of patients.

With the power load system, the Hesston’s first out ambulance now features a track and trolley with a hydraulic lift, which eases the responsibility on technicians for critical lifts.
