Bella Vista City Council Approves $91,000 Purchase for Fire Department Ventilators

Bella Vista, AR – During the regular meeting the Bella Vista City Council authorized the purchase of five Hamilton T-1 Intelligent Transport Ventilator packages for the city's Fire Department. The purchase, not exceeding $91,000, was deemed necessary due to the age and non-manufacture status of the current ventilators. The new ventilators are expected to improve the department's capacity to handle emergency situations, as the current units are over ten years old and three are inoperable. The Hamilton T-1 ventilators, which are sole-source products from Hamilton Medical, will ensure the fire department remains equipped to provide critical care during emergency medical services​​.
