Starke County EMS Director Travis Clary is looking to update the cots in the county’s fleet of ambulances.
Clary told the Starke County Commissioners last week that a recent fleet assessment done by Stryker found that the ambulance cots are at least 15 years old and cannot be serviced any longer.
Clary hopes to look for grants to help with the $20,000 cost per cot. He hopes to outfit each of the county’s three ambulances with a new cot. There is a financing option with a trade-in value of $3,000 for all three outdated cots.
No decisions were made during last week’s meeting. Clary will be doing more research into possible grant options and other measures for future consideration by the commissioners.
