The Vista Fire Department spent most of this weekend learning how to operate both the new Ambulance and new Stryker stretcher that was delivered last week.
The training consisted of driving the new ambulance, how to properly operate all the equipment on the rig and how the Stryker stretcher fully operates during an emergency. With the training now in place, the Vista Fire Department has put the new Ambulance 22 in-service!
