SIDNEY — The Sidney Department of Fire and Emergency Services’ new 2020 Horton medic has been placed in service.
The city of Sidney received the medic in December 2020 and is now in service after members of Sidney Fire prepared it for use.
The medic is a four-wheel drive Ford truck chassis with a liquid spring suspension, which helps to improve patient ride and vehicle stability. The Horton medic also has airbag systems built into both the cab and patient compartment for the safety of the crew and the patient in the event of an accident. In addition, the Horton medic has an integrated child seat, allowing for the safe transportation of children.
