As part of its ongoing commitment to enhancing emergency preparedness and response efficiency, Sampson County Emergency Services (EMS) has introduced a newly acquired ambulance with advanced life-saving equipment.
During a recent demonstration, EMS Assistant Chief Mark Trathen presented the stair chair’s capabilities to Chairman Allen McLamb and County Manager Allen Vann. The stair chair is designed to safely transport patients down staircases in homes and buildings where traditional stretchers are impractical.

The ambulance delivery follows recent advancements in the county’s EMS facility and ensures that first responders are equipped not just for today’s emergencies, but for tomorrow’s challenges.
