Denver Paramedics New Ambulance?

[DENDude]

Did Denver health get new ambulances?? I Saw what looked like two Chevrolet express cargo trucks with Denver Health logos on the doors and a bright orange and blue paint job driving last night when I was coming home from work.

They make the Ford ambulances they have look small.


Thanks...
Later!

All our front-line ambulances are still Fords. However, the new CCT ambulance is a former Englewood fire ambulance that we inherited. It's a medium-duty Chevy, so I'll bet that's what you saw.

Cool, well it looks great! Thanks for the reply.

The Denver health ambulances always looked a little short and wide to me.

They are shorter than the usual type III, it makes them much more stable. I don't think they're any wider, but I don't know the measurements.

Maybe it's just the proportions. I'm sure most ambulances push the width limit, so any wider would require wide load signs lol.

But I can hardly stand in my ambulance and I'm not that tall.

I've never been able to stand in any other ambulance I've worked in either. And I can recline my seat all the way back because the cab extends into the box.
