I work for Ah My Ride as an Eastern Mass Taxi (aka AMR, EMT.)

Ok, I know farva's post is pretty old, but I couldn't resist. The newest nickname I have heard for AMR came from my ILS instructor. (Who used to work for them.)

Edmonton EMS

Type III ambulances are the standard for all of Edmonton EMS aside from the bariatric rig, which is Type I.

For special events we have golf cart-type vehicles, as well as segways (Edmonton EMS is the first in Canada to use segways).

Supervisor's first responder cars are nicely decked-out Ford Explorers. Every major piece of BLS equipement and even ALS equipment (IV/IO/IM admin equip + drugs, etc).

How are the trucks going to look under AHS?

How are the trucks going to look under AHS?

Actually, I was just talking to a friend of mine about this today. AHS just recently finished designing the trucks as well as the crests and uniforms. Apparently they're going to be blue and green, but the actual designs on the truck I still don't know about. The design they're using as a "well hold on until we've got something decent" deal is just a white truck with AHS on the side of the box along with EMS and Paramedic Unit printed on. Not overly impressed.

Uniforms are going to have reflective green stripes (YUCK!) instead of the reflective silver along the pant legs and arm bands.

Personally not too happy with the choice of colours, which is an opinion apparently held by quite a few people within the Capital Health district of AHS.

I saw that placeholder. Would have been cheaper to do nothing then toss those POS' out.

My service has stripes that are half inch silver with reflective green backing. It grew on me after awhile as it's very distinctive within a sea of navy blue uniforms. Plus it beats the hell out of the green and blue hi-vis golf shirts Muskoka EMS (Medavie) is wearing now.

Anyhoo... /thread jack

We ride in Wheeled Coach Medical Attack Vehicles, built on an International chassis. This shows an extended cab models. They are used for our rescue/tactical/HAZMAT units to store specialized equipment. The "regular" field trucks don't have the roll-up doors behind the crew cab.

All of our units together

Our Newest Crash Rescue Unit - 2008 Ford F-550

In some areas, Law Enforcement also does EMS... it's pretty rare, though. In those areas, FD doesn't do it, there's no muni 3rd, and no private companies that can do 911... go figure. It does make for an easier time starting up a tactical medic program.

In LA County the FD provides quality ems, but the SO's do have flight paramedics, and tatical paramedics as well and yes the LA Co SD do send their people through paramedic school.

Being a major city we ride International Urban Assault vehicles

*****in'!!! Are those the ones with the run flat tires?

 

[medic2586]

the duramax is what we mostly use... Incredible low end accelleration. I love them... and Im a Ford kinda guy....


... and they would have also been reliable if the tattletale had not created the electrical nightmare that it had AND voided the warranty on every unit.

we just got 2 duramax 3500 hd's about a year ago.. very quick...good low end but a 1998 horton with a 7.3 and a superchip will walk the dog on it!

 

[FDNYChick]

ford f-350 and f-450 for the haztach trucks

and man there are no room in the new ones,i like the older 04 models better

 

[Manic_Wombat]

I'm at a volunteer FD that doesn't transport, we run a BLS flycar which is a 96' turbocharged Suburban that flies. Also all our engines and rescue have a full EMS loadout.
