You may see an ambulance of different color with our logo on it in our district. This ambulance was put into service today and already responded to an emergency call.

We had one of our older ambulances need a transmission and rear end replaced. That ambulance has almost 300,000 miles on it and we have had other mechanical issues with it.

Luckily a volunteer service in the area had this 2009 with 24,000 original miles on it for sale cheaper than the repair costs on our ambulance.

Our Chief and the board of directors made a decision to buy this unit instead of repairing our ambulance to save money.

While it is odd to see our logo in red and not blue, I'm sure we will get used to it. Hopefully this ambulance will serve the district for many years to come!

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Santa Claus Requests AHAD For Assistance
December 24, 2025

The Atchison-Holt Ambulance District has received a very special call for service this evening when Santa Claus himself has requested our assistance during his Christmas Eve operations.

Due to the forecasted dense fog over our ambulance district this evening Santa told us he did not feel that Rudolph’s red nose was enough lighting for his sleigh to operate safely.

“Santa asked if he could use our newest ambulance with his reindeer to deliver presents to all the boys and girls in our district safely,” said Chief Mays. “He was extremely appreciative of our ambulance district supporting him in this very important mission!”

If you happen to see our ambulance flying through the air tonight with lights flashing, don’t be alarmed!

The Atchison-Holt Ambulance District reminds the public that whether it’s Christmas Eve or any other night of the year, our crews are always ready to respond — even to the North Pole’s finest.

Merry Christmas from all of us at the Atchison-Holt Ambulance District.
