The Arab Fire Rescue service has a new tool to help in the delivery of emergency care to the area.  Chief Ricky Phillips said the new $132,000 ambulance arrived Monday and was put into service almost immediately.  The $29,000 per year lease of the new vehicle was approved by the Arab City Council in late January (see previous story).    The new unit will replace an older unit that has become unreliable and too costly to repair.
