Not since the Ghostbusters have we seen a business turning to emergency response vehicles as part of their brand identity. PC911, a Las Vegas based mobile IT service company, uses retired ambulances to rush to computer emergencies across the Nevada desert. While the Ghostbusters used dangerous nuclear accelerators to do their job, PC911 is turning to a safe and often overlooked alternative fuel to save money and reduce damage to the environment.

Chad Stone, founder of PC 911 (http://www.pc911lv.com), is running the company’s ambulances on used vegetable oil. Chad launched his company in 2005 and found that ambulances would be perfect for hauling everything needed for mobile computer repairs. However, the soot from the diesel engine bothered Chad and he took steps to make his ambulance fleet cleaner. It costs $1,200 to convert each one to run on vegetable oil, but the company saves quite a bit of money due to decreased diesel fuel usage. Also, by using retired ambulances, the company keeps its costs lower and keeps the ambulances on the road instead of in a junkyard.

PC 911 is also involved in other actions to help the environment and the community, including participation with Cell Phones for Soldiers.

Look for this green and community oriented company to be in the Valley of the Sun soon. PC911 is currently looking for a Technician and Senior Technician to fix sick computers all across Phoenix.
