The Mehlville Fire Protection District will be adding a new ambulance to its fleet after the Board of Directors, comprised of Treasurer Bonnie Stegman, Secretary Ed Ryan and Chairman Aaron Hilmer, unanimously approved a bid with Osage Ambulances.
The district was due to purchase a new ambulance as part of its apparatus replacement plan, Chief Brian Hendricks said at the Nov. 18 board meeting.
The new ambulance will cost $270,406, which is slightly less than what the district had originally budgeted, in part because the district is adding onto an order with St. Charles County. The ambulance will be similar to the other ambulances the district always orders, however the new ambulance will have a Ford 550 chassis, while the rest of the district’s fleet ride on a 450 chassis.
Mehlville Fire Protection District Deputy Chief Dan Furrer will be retiring at the end of December, rounding out over 30 years of service in the district.
“Chief Furrer has given the Mehlville Fire Protection District 34 years of service. From the chief’s perspective, I’m happy to be able to say that … it’s my belief that we have some of the finest deputy chiefs the county has,” Chief Brian Hendricks said at the Nov. 18 board meeting where Furrer was recognized for his service. “We run more fires, we run more calls and it’s the day to day things that deputy chiefs are responsible for. It’s a huge, huge undertaking and that’s why the men that currently fill those spots are, without question, some of the best line personnel we have.”
