Johnston County Emergency Services - EMS Division has donated two surplused ambulances to Johnston Community College’s (JCC) Emergency Medical Sciences Program.
“While these ambulances are no longer suitable for daily operations by Johnston County Emergency Services, we’re excited that they will continue to benefit our community by serving our talent pipeline at JCC,” said Ted Hardy, EMS Division Chief.
JCC’s Emergency Medical Sciences program will utilize the retired ambulances for training and demonstrations to students studying to enter the EMS field.
The Emergency Medical Sciences program at JCC has contributed to hundreds of EMS personnel being hired with Johnston County since its origin.
The department received approval from county commissioners at their August 18th meeting to retire the two ambulances and donate them to further education and training in the county.
Two new ambulances were purchased earlier this year to replace those aging in the fleet.
