The Arlington Rescue Squad is proud to announce a $50,000 gift from the Mack Molding Company to support Phase One of the squad’s Community Capital Campaign. The gift marks a significant milestone towards the Phase One goal of $405,000 which will replace an aging ambulance and upgrade on-board cardiac, patient-monitoring technology for the fleet of two ambulances. Phase two, which they hope to accomplish in the next 2-3 years, will replace the second aging ambulance.

“Mack Molding’s leadership gift will have a transformative impact on our ability to provide emergency services to our community for years to come. The gift brings the campaign substantially closer to our fundraising goal and we are deeply grateful to Mack Molding for this extraordinary investment in the health and safety of our community.” said Seline Skoug, squad president and a volunteer AEMT. “

Rural EMS systems face many challenges and we are committed to working with others to ensure EMS services are provided throughout the county. A new ambulance and critical patient-monitoring upgrades will help us remain a strong regional partner as we work together towards a sustainable model for the future of EMS”.
