At the Mount Ephraim Board of Commissioners (BOC) meeting on August 6, the BOC announced that they had purchased an ambulance that is no longer needed by the borough of Oaklyn for $1.00. The ambulance that is several years old is low in miles and will be used by Mount Ephraim EMS to replace an older ambulance this is in need of some costly repairs. Several minor things have to be completed to meet state requirements and also to change the lettering from Oaklyn to Mount Ephraim, but that is all minor cosmetics.
Commissioner of Public Safety Andy Gilmore said \”It was a great, great opportunity to make this purchase at such a fantastic price.\” \”This effort saved the taxpayers approximately $150,000 and will be a great asset for the community\” Commissioner Gilmore further added. The life expectance on an ambulance is approximately eight to ten years.
