Baltimore, MD - Sept. 17, 2024  - The Hatzalah Museum is proud to announce the acquisition of the historic ambulance, Hatzalah of Baltimore’s first ambulance M-3,” which will be permanently displayed to honor its vital role in saving lives. This significant addition to the museum's collection was procured by The Museum’s curator Nusi Josephy B-64/HSF-164.

Originally serving Flatbush Hatzolah (F-904), “M-3” played a crucial role in emergency medical services, transporting countless patients and responding to critical situations. Notably, it was one of the first ambulances to arrive at the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001, a testament to its commitment to emergency response and lifesaving efforts.

Dovid Goldwasser, HSF-79 from the HSF Fleet Department, provided logistical support in transporting “M-3” from Baltimore to New York, ensuring its safe arrival at the Hatzalah Museum.

“The Hatzalah Museum is honored to provide a home for ‘M-3’ to enjoy retirement,” said Nusi Josephy. “This ambulance embodies the spirit of Hatzalah's dedication to serving the community, and we are grateful to preserve its legacy for future generations.”

The museum extends its heartfelt thanks to Hatzalah of Baltimore for their generous donation of “M-3.” This historic ambulance will not only serve as a symbol of Hatzalah’s commitment to emergency medical services but also as an educational piece for visitors to understand the pivotal role of Hatzalah in community health and safety.

The Hatzalah Museum invites the community to visit and experience this remarkable piece of history firsthand, as we celebrate the invaluable contributions of Hatzalah and its life-saving missions.
