FF Chip Stout has been very active in the Heartmobile restoration project that is taking place at the Central Ohio Fire Museum. It was the country's first mobile coronary care unit and was put in service in 1969. More can be learned about the project and the history of EMS in Columbus by going to the Heartmobile site, http://www.heartmobile.org/heartmobile.swf.
Chip says they are well underway in the process of restoring the Heart Mobile and generally work on it Tuesday and Wednesday evenings at the Fire Museum. He said that they are hoping to have it finished up by next May. He is also looking for UAFD members names that were on the Heart Mobile. If any of you retirees know of some crew member names from UAFD, or want to know more about helping out, please contact cstout@uaoh.net. And if you have some free time and would like to volunteer, please head on down to the museum some Tuesday or Wednesday evening.
There is a rumor that the City of Upper Arlington may purchase the restored vehicle as a replacement for Medic 73.
