Today, Tupper Lake Rescue took delivery of our new 2026 PL Custom ambulance! This new ambulance will replace our current Unit 569, a 2016 ambulance that has proudly served our communities for years and has accumulated over 170,000 miles responding to calls and providing care when our neighbors needed us most.
Over the next week or so, our members will spend time becoming familiar with the new ambulance, its equipment, and all of its capabilities. Once training and familiarization are complete, the new ambulance will officially be placed into service.
We would like to extend our sincere gratitude to everyone who has supported us and contributed to making this new ambulance possible. Your generosity and continued support mean more to us than we can put into words.
A few special thank-yous are in order:
Our Treasurer, Kelly Fluery, for spearheading the capital campaign project and helping make this purchase a reality.
Our entire Board of Directors, for their leadership, support, and commitment to the future of our organization.
Our former Chief of Maintenance, Mark Picerno, who played an important role in helping design our new ambulance and making sure it would meet the needs of our members and our communities.
And, of course, all of our members, past and present, whose dedication, time, and commitment make everything we do possible.
Tupper Lake Rescue has been proud to serve Tupper Lake, Piercefield, Santa Clara, and Harrietstown. This new ambulance will allow us to continue that mission and provide our communities with the equipment and resources our members need to deliver the highest level of care possible.
Thank you to everyone who helped make this day possible. This ambulance belongs to our entire community, and we are incredibly proud to put it to work serving you.
