nothing but HD type III's.

Just found out the other day that there is a new size ambulance out. It is called the additional duty rig,its alil bigger than the medium duty rig.

You have GOT to be freakin' kidding. I've seen shorter school busses.


Unless you are talking about Cambridge, Mass's "Rescue 1" - a custom-chassis rescue/ambulance.

And then there is always the Transport-Pumper.

My VAC uses medium duty ambulances and I love them. People make fun of us for their size and how many lights we use, but the one or two times I've been in smaller rigs, I've felt cramped. I guess I'm just spoiled

III's vs. II's

I started my EMS career in type 2's and im never going back! The amount of room and space for storing equipment, turnout, etc. is very important to me, Also, if I was a patient I wouldn't want 2 cramped emt's hovering right on top of me in a van, Id much prefer to have some breathing room.

Medtec Ambulance,which is a sister company to Pierce,designed it,other than that I dont know.

cameras? what do you need cameras for? we all know that the faster you go, the thinner/shorter the rig is. just close your eyes and punch it.

for backing up.... but funny none-the-less.

A Type II ambulance is a van-type ambulance
