Town increases support for Granby Ambulance Association
|
Before the Granby Ambulance Association existed, a Cadillac station wagon kept in a barn responded to motor vehicle accidents and household injuries. The late Cal Heminway and other concerned citizens put an end to that and established a trained volunteer service to handle such emergencies. That was in 1963.
