New Life-Saving Rig Hits the Streets at Station 2
Radcliff, KY · September 13, 2026
A quiet, overcast Sunday settles across the neighborhoods after one of the loudest concert weekends of the year. If you spent Saturday evening on your feet along Bourbon Trace, today is made for catching your breath.
The Lead
Hardin County Emergency Medical Services has officially deployed its newest frontline ambulance, Unit 5, operating directly out of Station 2 on Lincoln Trail Boulevard. The 2025 Ford F450 Road Rescue vehicle represents a $320,000 investment designed to upgrade critical response capabilities across the northern end of the county.
Freshly inspected and certified by the Kentucky Board of EMS, the rig comes equipped with top-tier life-saving technology. Onboard equipment includes automated LUCAS chest compression devices, modern cardiac monitors, and hydraulic PowerLoad stretcher systems that reduce crew injury while speeding up patient transport. For local residents, the addition ensures that when severe medical emergencies arise close to home, our neighborhood first responders roll out with hospital-grade tools ready before the ambulance leaves the driveway.
