Three Rivers College receives donated ambulance for EMS training

POPLAR BLUFF, Mo., (KBSI) — Three Rivers College has received a donated ambulance from Butler County EMS to enhance training for emergency medical services students.

The 2017 Ford Transit-250 ambulance will be stocked and ready for use by spring 2025 students in Paramedic, EMT, Fire Science and other emergency classes.

“We’re excited for our students to learn in a lifelike, simulated environment,” said Tami Cunningham, Three Rivers EMS and Fire Sciences director. “This will help prepare them for their future careers.”

The ambulance will be wrapped in a unique design to distinguish it as a training vehicle.
