The Fredonia Fire Department has recently placed into service three Stryker performance load stretcher mounting systems, made possible with a donation from the Fredonia Beaver Club.

The stretcher mounting systems are the current industry standard and are crash rated for the safety of the patient on board and the EMS provider.

This project would not have been possible without the assistance of the Fredonia Beaver Club. In conjunction with the Beaver Club, the Fredonia Fire Department strives to maintain state of the art equipment for the safety of our community members and EMS providers. The stretcher mounting systems will provide a safer level of care and transport to our local residents in the event of an emergency.
