LSW Emergency Services is proud to be represented at FDIC!

Fire Chief James Betts is on site as our brand-new ambulance makes its debut on the showroom floor. Safe to say, it cleans up pretty well.

With tens of thousands of fire and EMS professionals moving through the exhibit halls, this is a great opportunity to showcase what we’re bringing to the field.

This unit reflects the level of service, safety, and performance our community expects and deserves.

We’re committed to staying at the forefront of emergency response, and this latest addition is a direct investment in that mission.

If you’re at FDIC, stop by and take a look. More to come.
