Samarth Ambulance

We run Samarth Ambulance right from the Main Road in Mukundwadi. It’s a pretty straightforward operation we have going here. We keep the vehicles parked and ready to go as soon as the phone rings, which happens at all hours of the day and night. Being right on the main road is a big help because we can get out to the highway or dive into the smaller residential streets without getting stuck in too much local clutter right at the start. Mukundwadi is a big area and the traffic can be a real headache, especially when there’s a festival or market day. We’ve all lived around here long enough to know which alleys to take when the main road is blocked up by trucks or construction. This isn't a desk job where you sit and stare at a computer. Most of our day is spent in the driver’s seat or in the back of the van helping people. The equipment in the back is standard stuff, nothing overly fancy, but we keep it all clean and working right. It’s a lot of long hours and just waiting for the next call to come in. Sometimes it’s a very quiet night and we just sit around the office drinking tea and talking, and other times the phone won’t stop for eight hours straight. We don’t have a big office with nice furniture. Just a place to park the vans and a small room for us to stay when we are on duty.
