RE: Access Vehicle Fund Restricted Fund
Ladies and Gentlemen of the Board,
Bay Ridge Rescue Squad is respectfully asking for permission to access and use the $7900 in our
restricted access vehicle fund. Per our contract we must have permission to do so. We would like
to take the current Captains vehicle and turn it into an ALS first response vehicle. Several days
and evenings per week we have sufficient manpower to man both of our ambulances. We would
like the opportunity to be able to clear up our ALS provider from a call if not needed. By
outfitting this vehicle we would:
1. Be able to clear up the ALS provider to be available for either our second crew or for an
Intercept with another agency.
2. Put less wear and tear on our ambulances if only ALS is needed.
3. These steps in the long run we feel would save us money on vehicle repairs.
We have purchased a used vehicle from Lake George Fire to replace the Captains Vehicle. This
vehicle would be used for special events such as:
1. Adirondack Balloon Festival
2. Community Paramedicine
3. Soccer and LaCrosse Tournaments at Jenkinsville
4. Rehab for Firefighters on large scale fire events.
We currently use the Captains vehicle for many of these things. The vehicle that has been
purchased will tow our trailer with the equipment we currently use at such events.
We sincerely hope you will consider our request.
Respectfully,
