Marking a Historic Milestone

Two of our current fleet of ambulances

On May 10th, Cumberland Goodwill will mark the 85th anniversary of the first motorized ambulance being placed in service in Carlisle. A $5,000 Donation made by Mrs. A. F. Bedford to the Carlisle Hospital marked the beginning of a tradition that continues to this day. According to company archives, Mrs. Bedford made a donation to fund both a sunroom addition and an ambulance for the hospital. The motorized vehicle replaced an older horse drawn carriage that had been in service since 1921. The new ambulance was to be housed at the Cumberland Fire Company on East Louther Street and was officially placed in Service May 10th, 1927. Continue reading »
