Thanks for sharing John. The 9M series are still growing on me. Just a little different. Still only LED load lights in the M series correct?

This apparatus is a 2005 Pierce Saber-C and is primarily used as a mass casualty support vehicle. It carries medical supplies, extra backboards, body bags, and a variety of additional equipment that would be typically found on an ambulance. It also has an onboard oxygen generating system with bottle-filling capabilities.

Now for a look back about 20+ years ago to see what the fire department based ambulances in the Dallas/Fort Worth area looked like. By the 1980's, nearly all were Ford F350 truck chassis with modular style "boxes". Dallas was the trend-setter, and most departments by about 1990 had full strobe lighting and extended bumpers with additional warning lights and two 100-watt siren speakers (usually Federal CP-100's). The electronic sirens most often used were the Federal PA-200, Federal PA-300, and the Whelen WS-224.
Here we have:
Irving, Tx 1986 Ford F350 with an unknown mfr mody
Richardson, Tx 1986 Ford F350, also with what is most likely a Collins body

All of these photos were taken back before I had learned how to pose them properly and to shoot during sunny conditions.
Next are:
Plano, Tx 1989 Ford F350/Collins
Addison, Tx 1987 Ford F350 with an unknown mfr box

Denton had some really well-appointed ambulances, or MICU's (Mobile Intensive Care Units) as they are commonly referred to around here.
