I think the newer ones are vans.How long have they been using that type? In our area a few have tried them and went back to the smaller size. I know of a couple partners that would fill the backseat of that unit X-mas shopping.
Nope; newer ones are international terrastars. The crew cab makes SSM a lot nicer, as is having a trainee. The larger chassis also stands up to Medic running the rigs to 300k miles a lot better than smaller chassisI think the newer ones are vans.
Yeah...they have "posts" at fire stations and a few of their own "stations" but everyone reports to a main station and gets sent out from there.They do SSM in those??
That seems quite inefficient in that vehicle.Yeah...they have "posts" at fire stations and a few of their own "stations" but everyone reports to a main station and gets sent out from there.
Yeah, but isn't that one primarily a long distance CCT unit vs. Frontline 911 response unit?That seems quite inefficient in that vehicle.
Don't get me wrong, my unit is a quad cab Freightliner, but the only time we are put in SSM is when the city is level 0.
Yes. Which was my point. They are too big to do SSM in lolYeah, but isn't that one primarily a long distance CCT unit vs. Frontline 911 response unit?

We go anywhere there are tacos.Somebody should tell them about the taco place at Vermont and Santa Monica. I've had a hard time parking my Road Rescue there. I can't imagine parking that beast on the side street.

Granted, 911 in it is nice. Just not moving around posting all day. But maybe they're system is less busy. Our 911 units spend 5-15 minutes at a post on average.
I don't think MEDIC is "less busy"..lmacho?
