Equipment

The Glen Rock Volunteer Ambulance Corps is equipped with two ambulances, 820 & 821, and one first responder, 829, to respond to emergency calls.

Ambulance 821
Picture
On Saturday afternoon, October 24, 2015 at 4:30 pm, the Glen Rock Volunteer Ambulance Corps celebrated its newest ambulance 821 with a traditional "wetdown" ceremony.

In addition to state of-the-art technology in the ambulance, 821 and its five year-old companion Ambulance 820 are both equipped with the new Stryker Power-LAD hydraulic system, which lifts patients weighing up to 700 pounds with the touch of a button. The system lifts and lowers the cot into and out of the ambulance, helping to ensure patient safety and reducing the risk of spinal injuries for GRVAC members.


Ambulance 820
Ambulance 820 was acquired in 2010 to replace an aging ambulance. This Horton modular Ambulance boasts significantly improved safety systems such as air bags and cushioned head protectors installed for impact protection. The surfaces of the new ambulance includes stainless steel grab rails, stain resistant flooring and countertops treated with anti-microbial coatings that fight bacteria.  The air conditioning system is equipped with HEPA filters and UV lamps, which treat the circulated air and remove harmful bacteria.  Privacy one-way rear and side windows ensure patient and treatment privacy.  The control panels are sealed to prevent bacteria from penetrating the switches.

In 2015, 820 was upgraded with a new stretcher, Stryker Power-LAD hydraulic system, which lifts patients weighing ip to 700 pounds with the touch of a button. The GRVAC also upgraded 820's control panels so they are identical to our newest ambulance, 821. The GRVAC is proud that, for 2019, 820 is equipped with state-of-the-art technology and safety.

Special Operations 822
Special Operations 822, a utility truck, was purchased to replace the GRVAC's old First Responder Vehicle.  A multipurpose truck, it is used as a First Responder vehicle and serves as a Command and Control Vehicle during fires and large emergency incidents.

Zumro Tent
GRVAC owns a 20 foot by 20 foot Zumro inflatable tent so that fireman could rest, receive oxygen, have their vital signs monitored, and generally “rehabilitate” before they go back into a fire.  Having a sheltered area to administer this treatment is especially important in inclement weather.


The Zumro meets many criteria. It is extremely weatherproof, sufficiently large enough to serve many patients at once, and very easy to erect using the least number of first aid personnel.
