NEW BERLIN — While New Berlin awaits the delivery of their 2016 emergency vehicle between Thanksgiving and the end of the month, a temporary emergency vehicle has been brought in.

Village of New Berlin Mayor Peter Lennon said, “Area residents may see a white ambulance with “New Berlin Ambulance Service” in black letters. This rental vehicle is now “in service” status.”

He said the previous vehicle used by the village of New Berlin’s ambulance service was experiencing mechanical issues and the vehicle was placed on temporary out of service status.

A few weeks ago, the village of New Berlin Board of Trustees met to review vehicle candidates to replace the current out of service ambulance, and made the decision to move forward.
