Seguin Fire Department purchases EMS Units with grant funds Cindy Aguirre-Herrera
(Seguin) -- Two EMS units are hitting the streets of Seguin but one of them is not just any EMS unit. One of them is a state-of-the-art infectious disease ambulance. Thanks to $489,100 in grant funding from the Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs (TDHCA), the city was able to purchase these vehicles. Chief Dale Skinner says this is a big improvement for the city’s emergency medical service. He says the new IDRUs have the highest technology systems available. Whether it’s COVID or anything else, Skinner says they protect patients and medical personnel, giving them all peace of mind. The new Infectious Disease Response Units (IDRUs) are specially equipped with a ceiling- mounted surface disinfection system, ultraviolet air purifiers, antimicrobial grab bars and a sealed rear cab with driver monitor communication, among other technological upgrades.
