Ambulance 5601 is a 1991 Ford E-350 Type III SuperMedic built by Road Rescue in St. Paul, MN. While it is equipped similar to our other two ambulances, it is also set up to act as a mass causality command center. The history of this truck is long, but perhaps our favorite truck because when 5602 was purchased with the new graphics and paint job, the crew members dismantled 5601, had it painted to match the new truck, and re assembled 5601 completely in-house.. It was a six-week project which brought us together. Members of our department designed graphics and paint scheme in-house.

Ambulance 5602 is a 1999 Ford E-350 Type III SuperMedic custom built for us by Road Rescue in St. Paul, MN.

5603 was added in the spring of 2001, as our population and run volume continue to grow at a steady rate. 

To support our ambulance fleet, our department has added several other types of response vehicles since 2002. We have four EMS response bicycles, which work together in teams of two for immediate responses to emergencies during events such as our local Windmills days, Hammond Heartland days, or the county fair. The bike units are fully equipped to handle any emergency until a transport ambulance arrives on scene.

In 2004 we added a John Deere Gator cart "5610" to the rapid response teams. This unit is fully equipped to handle and transport patients to an area where the transport ambulance can receive a patient. Examples of how this unit is used include hunters, farmers in fields, parachuters, search and rescue, football games, down firefighters at grass fires, and other crowded events. See special operations units page.
