Vehicle fleet expands
St John Ambulance in the West Midlands has recently gained
several new additions to it's ever expanding vehicle fleet, and on
Sunday 8 May the vehicles were blessed according to St John
Ambulance tradition.
The County Commander Keith Hunter and the Commander Operations
Paul Bytheway were amongst those present as County
Chaplain Mark Pryce blessed the vehicles which included the new
county minibus, three new front line ambulances, and the new
bariatric ambulance.
The bariatric ambulance is a particularly exciting addition to
the county as it is the first time that we have had such a vehicle,
which is fortified so that it can carry patients of an extremely
obese nature.
New additions to the St John Ambulance vehicle fleet are
traditionally blessed to welcome the vehicle and to help ensure a
safe journey for all who travel in them.
