The Braun Liberty ambulance comes as a base unit. This gave Wilkes-Barre the flexibility to customize their unit to include the options most important to them. Moreover, it allowed them to get everything they needed within their budget. Features they chose included the Whelen LED light package, On-Spot tire chains, and a wood free, all-aluminum interior.

While working with Wilkes-Barre, the safety of the vehicle was an important factor to them. As with all of Braun Industries’ ambulances, the Liberty is crafted with their innovative SolidBody Construction. Braun SolidBody Construction ambulances are built as one integrated module from .125″ flat-sheet, marine grade aluminum. This reduces the weight of the ambulance module while adding strength.

The City of Wilke-Barre Fire Department found the on-site service offered by Keystone Emergency Vehicles also very important in their decision making process. Since the majority of maintenance needs can be solved at your station, Keystone’s on-site service reduces vehicle downtime and the hassle associated with bringing it to a service location. This will ensure Wilkes-Barre is always up and running as fast as possible.

The Wilkes-Barre Fire Department is a full-service career department. They provide fire, rescue, advanced life support emergency service, fire code enforcement, and fire prevention activities. They respond to over 9000 emergencies each year. For more information, visit the department website.

Congratulations again to Wilkes-Barre Fire Department! We hope you enjoy your new Braun Liberty ambulance.

The new medium-duty TerraStar chassis from International has many benefits over leading competitors including:

• 38% better front-forward visibility

You can learn more about the International TerraStar chassis on their website here.

So what are customers saying about this new chassis option from Marque? Cleveland Township Fire Chief, Rich Newman, had this to say about his new Marque Brigadier ambulance built on the International TerraStar chassis: ““I am very happy with our recent purchase from Marque – from the ease of the building process to the way the chassis handles and looks.  It’s been a great experience.  We would certainly purchase another emergency vehicle from Marque.”

Dave Marshall, Product Manager for Marque Ambulance, makes it his business to know what his clients think about their ambulance models. “Based on what our customers are saying, this is definitely going to be an ambulance that people will be interested in. Chief Rich Newman has told me many times that he is very happy with the ambulance we built for them on the TerraStar chassis.  He also informed me he has had many neighboring communities that have come to look at his ambulance and have been equally impressed.  Our cooperation with International on the TerraStar chassis, and our willingness to listen to our customer’s input on what they want, will create an ambulance that will provide excellent service for our end users. We are excited on what the future holds with Marque ambulances on the International TerraStar chassis.” And so are we!
