AGENDA ITEM: Request to approve donation of Fire and Rescue ambulance to
the County of Craig
SUBMITTED BY: Richard E. Burch, Jr.
Chief of Fire and Rescue
APPROVED BY: B. Clayton Goodman III
County Administrator
COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR'S COMMENTS:
SUMMARY OF INFORMATION:
Recently, the Fire and Rescue Department received a request from the County of Craig to
consider the donation of an ambulance to their locality so that they may begin to operate a
part-time emergency medical services (EMS) unit as a supplement to their volunteer
organization. Roanoke County does have a mutual aid agreement with the County of Craig
and frequently responds to their requests for assistance. By donating this ambulance it will
not only serve to improve patient care in Craig County but Roanoke County will also benefit
by having the paid unit in service during times the volunteer responders are not available.
Ultimately, the unit will reduce the number of times Roanoke County units have to respond
into Craig leaving those units in service to assist the citizens of Roanoke County.
Roanoke County Fire and Rescue has several ambulances on order to replace current
older units. Once the vehicles are delivered, the department will evaluate which of the
units being replaced is in the best condition to donate. In the past, these surplus units
have been sold on the County's Public Surplus site for an average of $8,500.
Craig County fully understands that the vehicle is not in perfect condition and that the unit
will have high mileage. They agree to take possession of the vehicle in "as is" condition.
Roanoke County Fire and Rescue would like to request approval to proceed with the
donation of an ambulance to the County of Craig.
