Staff Report / Peekskillocal.org

Chief Steven Sniffen, Captain Mack Godbee, and Sergeants Justin Hayes and Elizabeth Lapadula from the Peekskill Community Volunteer Ambulance Corps recently conducted an inspection trip to Long Island at VCI. They met with Pete and Brian to assess additional items for their new ambulance and arranged equipment placement. The old 2017 Braun 75B4 ambulance was taken out of service and will be replaced by a new B4 ambulance for Peekskill VAC. This new ambulance is expected to be in service in about a month, increasing their fleet to four ambulances. Pete from VCI was commended for his salesmanship and professionalism, with long-standing positive relationships with the ambulance corps.

Additionally, the Ambulance Corps is in the process of setting up new flycars as a service and will provide updates and pictures once they are in service. The Peekskill Community Volunteer Ambulance Corps expressed gratitude to all supporters and stakeholders for their continued assistance and shared contact information for emergencies as 911 and their website for further information.
