ST. GEORGE, Utah (AP) — It's a little too big to fit under a tree, but a southern Utah fire department is still thankful for their Christmas gift -- a used ambulance. The St. George Spectrum reports that the Dixie Region Medical Center donated the 1995 Ford ambulance to the Santa Clara Fire Department, which had applied for a chance to receive the vehicle from the medical center's community benefit department.
