Ludlow Fire Department Encourages Residents to Sign Up for 2024 Ambulance Subscription Program

LUDLOW — Chief Ryan Pease would like to remind residents and community members to sign up for the 2024 Ludlow Fire Department’s Ambulance Subscription Program.  

The Ludlow Fire Department mailed out the 2024 Ambulance Subscription form to all households in Ludlow on Oct. 31. The ambulance subscription fee is $50.00 per household.  

The program will pay all costs of emergency ambulance services provided by the Ludlow Fire Department that are not covered by the subscriber’s insurance. All residents living in the same household are covered under one subscription payment.  

Currently, the out-of-pocket cost for Advance Life Saving transport is $1,844.27 plus mileage. 

The fee may be used as a tax deduction to the extent of the law. Donations from this program are used to help purchase the necessary supplies and equipment for the Ludlow Ambulance Service. 

Residents should be aware that 2023 subscriptions expire on Dec. 31. To ensure continued coverage through 2024, current subscribers should pay online or in person before Dec. 31. New members are welcome to participate.  

The department also offers online sign-up here. Residents who do not receive a form by mail can print one online or call Ludlow Fire to request one.  

Those who wish to drop off payment at the station should leave it in one of the secure drop boxes located outside the Fire Dispatch Area on the Center Street side or inside the main vestibule of the Public Safety Complex on the Chapin Street side. Cash and checks are accepted. 

“This is a great opportunity and we encourage residents to sign-up for this beneficial program,” said Chief Pease. “The department would also like to thank residents and community members who have supported the program in the past. We hope that we will continue to have your support of this program for years to come.” 

This program is a great opportunity for all Ludlow residents, even with the increase in cost. We thank all of you who have supported this program in the past and hope that we will continue to have your support in this extremely beneficial program.

For questions or assistance, please call the Ludlow Fire Department at 413-583-8332, ext. 2309, Monday to Friday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.
