H.A.C.E. owns and operates the sole ambulance on this 100 mile long island, and is staffed entirely by unpaid volunteers. Chris Gosling, H.A.C.E's chair, and his two assistant drivers are on call 24 hours a day and tirelessly respond to over 70 emergency calls a year. The ambulance they are using is almost 20 years old and is in dire need of replacement. H.A.C.E has determined that a used ambulance approximately five years old will provide the required reliability at a price of $35,000.
