| Bryton Hershey stands beside Christiana's new ambulance |
Christiana Community Ambulance held an open house Saturday to house its new ambulance and celebrate 60 years of service by longtime member Brayton Hershey.
Hansen Poole, who has been with the company since 1975, was helped along in his training by Hershey.
"As the ambulance has evolved we're doing more and more patient care," he said during the dedication ceremony. "Equipment is fine, but to have the equipment you also have to have the people."
Before members of the ambulance company pushed the new Ford diesel ambulance into the building to formalize the housing ceremony, they honored Hershey, placing a plaque in the vehicle dedicating it and all future ambulances numbered 5-22 to him.
"As soon as I was 18 years old I joined the fire company. The ambulance was part of the fire company at that time," Hershey said.
