The following day, I had the quick opportunity to drop by the Marion Life Saving Crew (Rescue Squad) in Smyth County. It was recommended to me to stop by that station because of an interesting older ambulance the department still owns.
First up is that old ambulance, Unit 41. The department members tell me that this ambulance was purchased with "H and H green stamps". Some of our more "seasoned" firepic members will have to fill us in on that program
