The lift, along with a stair chair, was purchased with assistance from Tioga Downs.<\/p><\/div>\n

On Monday, Jan. 11, Tioga Center Emergency Squad members and officials presented Tioga Downs\u2019 owner, Jeff Gural, with a memento to recognize his recent donation of $16,400 to the squad that was used for the purchase of life saving equipment.<\/p>\n

Last year Tioga Downs donated the funds to the Emergency Squad in Tioga Center, which in-turn enabled them to purchase a power lift cot and a \u201cstair chair\u201d for use on emergency and life saving calls.<\/p>\n

According to Art Mayer, Tioga Center squad captain, the equipment will provide safety for the person needing assistance, as well as the squad members responding.<\/p>\n

In the past, Mayer explained, the responders would have to lift the cot, or stretcher, into the response vehicle. In a demonstration on Monday, the Tioga Center Fire Chief, Milton Kemp and David VanDusen, first responder, along with Mayer, gave a demonstration of the ease of the lift.<\/p>\n

Prior to the purchase of the lift, said Mayer, it would be difficult to get those being transported into the squad vehicle. And the \u201cstair\u201d chair allows for responders and the person being attended to, to be moved safely.<\/p>\n

The lift and chair, he added, were purchased for a cost of\u00a0 $18,000. \u201cThe donation from Tioga Downs enabled us to purchase these items,\u201d said Mayer.<\/p>\n

Jeff Gural, who was at Tioga Downs on Monday, received thanks from the squad and department along with a\u00a0 photo of squad members standing with the purchased equipment. The photo presented to Gural on Monday was signed by each member, and \u201cThank You\u201d written along the top.<\/p>\n

Gural, upon receipt of the framed photo, stated that he was happy to help out. \u201cThese guys come up and help us out,\u201d said Gural.<\/p>\n

He added, \u201cThey provide a great service.\u201d<\/p>\n
