Ambulance box donated to local EMS
Agency raising funds to expand its building
By William Kincaid
CELINA - Mercer County EMS will soon receive a donated ambulance box to use as a simulator to train emergency medical technicians.
To house what EMS coordinator Matt Nietfeld calls a "hefty donation" from Horton Emergency Vehicles of Grove City, officials want to build a 1,200-square-foot addition onto the northwest corner of its Riley Street office in Celina. They plan to pay for the $185,000 addition exclusively with private and corporate donations. [More]
