The new ambulance is equipped with oxygen, first aid materials, sphygmomanometer, respirators for young and adult, stethoscope, medical regulator and fire extinguisher. “This unit indeed would be a big help to us because it will augment the 1 million ambulance purchased last year in transporting patients who need immediate medical treatment at the nearest hospital”, Mayor Timbol said.

“The municipality’s fire truck acquired during my father in-law’s time, the late Mayor Porferio F. Royo is no longer serviceable. As a first class and growing municipality, it is really imperative to have even one”, Mayor Timbol bared.
He added that he is hoping that the higher authorities would be true to their promise and would really look into the realization of such property and life saving vehicle need of his people. (cj-MIO Kapalong)
