JCSO completes goal of outfitting ALS level ambulance

The Jasper County Sheriff’s Office recently received nearly $27,000 in funding from the Prairie Meadows Community Betterment Grant Foundation. The grant award was utilized to purchase a set of battery powered extrication tools that will be stored and transported in Rescue 50, the Jasper County Sheriff’s Office Ambulance. These tools complete JCSO project goals of providing an ALS level ambulance and rescue tools, when responding to calls.

Rescue 50 is also utilized with local first responder agencies, during mutual aid incidents or when their ambulance is out of service. The tools and training were provided by Danko Fire Equipment of Iowa. The Jasper County Sheriff’s Office appreciates its relationship with the Prairie Meadows Community Betterment Foundation. Funding awards provided by this organization, allows the sheriff’s department to provide updated, safe and efficient equipment to all of its first responders, who respond and provide the best care available to our citizens.
