No you dont...those things are giving Wake County headaches with transmission and engine problems. Also, the only people who ride in those are APPs and the medical director. Just hope you get an ambulance with good AC in the back, and you'll be happy.

@JWall, did you take those yourself or get them off a site? Looks like you have a couple pics of one of their annoyingly large type 1 trucks there. Rode in the back of one of those the other day. Kind of disconcerting when you can't see the guys riding in the front but they can see (theres a camera and mic in the module) and hear you.

Wake County has an interesting fleet. They have a lot of their own original trucks, but then the repainted trucks from all of the EMS services they have taken over. You never know what kind of truck might be at each station.

Wake County have enough mass casualty incidents that you all need a BUS to transport them all?

Nope, the bus sits in a warehouse most of the time. Its just there if needed. Most of the hospitals also have mass casualty trailers that sit in place too.

I saw one of your rigs at Lourdes ER in Binghamton the other day

Rochester and Syracuse also have contracts with RMA, it most likely was one of theirs as they all have new stuff. I dont think any of out junk would make it out to Binghamton with out turning into a fireball on the way.

I love the toilet, was it a retrofit or factory? Wish I had one back in the day of working for AMR manys a time I had to use open air public facilities when working overnights. Or even worse have to wake up my partner to go somewhere if my business demanded it.:lol:

Got a ride in one of these at an RTC the other day;

 

[C.T.E.M.R.]

My squad is relatively lucky, Every 2 to 3 years we get brand new rigs, always for E series, And they are always kept clean in and out, i wouldn't hesitate to eat off of it.

Medic 1 at my new service. Medium Duty Chevy 3500

One of last year's models. The 2010 vehicles look the same but are based on the E-350 chassis.
