VIDEO: Emerson Ambulance Service just received a remodeled truck.
It was returned with a surprise for a Jonesboro resident.
A number five is marked on different parts of the ambulance truck. That is what got the entire ambulance dedicated to Ben Ford, a curious three-year-old.
“B- E- N”, said Ben, spelling out his name, now labeled on the back of the Number 5 Emerson Ambulance truck.
The curiosity all started with a car ride to school.
“Well, I noticed a young man coming by with his mother and father several mornings,” said Don McIntire, fleet maintenance supervisor.
“We just started driving by here and we would roll down the windows and he would see the number,” said Cassier and Jessie Ford, Ben’s parents.
Curiosity turned into a love for the trucks as they sat in the driveway of the station every day, but Ben liked one in particular.
