February 10, 2026 – ELKHART, INDIANA: Idaho EMS providers now have easier access to reliable, high-value ambulances. Medix Specialty Vehicles, an ambulance manufacturer known for delivering dependable units with competitive lead times, has expanded its dealer coverage in the region as Hughes Fire Equipment adds Idaho to its Medix Ambulances territory.
This expansion means EMS providers, fire departments, hospitals, and private services across Idaho will have local access to Type I, Type II, and Type III Medix ambulances, backed by Hughes Fire Equipment’s experienced sales and service team. Customers can expect the same straightforward buying process, dependable support, and relationship-first approach that Medix and Hughes are known for across the region.

We look forward to supporting Idaho’s emergency services with the same dedication and quality that our customers know us for.”
Hughes Fire Equipment became a Medix dealer in 2024 and currently represents Medix Ambulances in Washington, Oregon, Alaska, and Hawaii. Adding Idaho strengthens the partnership and gives first responders in the state a reliable, cost-conscious ambulance option built to get in service quickly and stay there.
