The new ambulance at the Negril Fire Station is now...

The new ambulance at the Negril Fire Station is now operational! It has completed all of its certifications and licensing requirements and has already been servicing the local community. This is a great addition to the private ambulance that has been Negril's only ambulance option of late.

The new ambulance is fully equipped with certified EMTs and can be reached by calling either 119, or 112 and the newly added 911 emergency phone numbers! Here is a pic taken today at the Negril Fire Station.
