Parkland Ambulance started with a 2008 Polaris Ranger to create their Mobile Response Unit. The Ranger was purchased with sponsor support in the Spring of 2008. It was used over the summer at busy public events and for sending help to hard-to-reach locations. Soon after, the Ranger underwent more serious modifications to set it up for winter use.
