C.V.’s Buys Two Ambulances and Turns 150 Years Old


On January 12, 1978 at the regular monthly meeting of the Cumberland Valley Hose Company members voted to purchase two 1978 Dodge Continental van ambulances for an estimated cost of $32,874 including trade ins. The units were to replace two 1973 Cadillac’s and marked the first time the company would operate ambulance’s not of that style. The decision was made after months of discussions within the company about the type of ambulance to buy.

Today also marks the 150Th birthday of the Cumberland Valley Hose Company.

No comments can be made anonymous, you need not sign in but you must sign a name or they will be deleted. This is just to seperate fact from fiction and keep it from being anything like whacker fest pa fire.

I am sorry to add the word verification but recently 88 of my post were spammed in one night. I do not have the time to correct that many post again, so this will eliminate the bullshit.
