There is only one thing I hate more than not photographing any fire apparatus when I make a trip and that is photographing them indoors, but since HazMat 1 is such a nice rig I made one exception!

Is this really a Rescue or is Rescue what they call an Ambulance in Miami?

I wouldn't have the foggiest idea but I would say it looks a hell of a lot like an ambulance so therefore it must be.

[/quote] Rescues trucks in Miami are staffed with Firefighter/Paramedics. They can and will transport critical patients to the hospital, but will request an ambulance for non-critical patients. Rescues respond to all fires and provide fire fighter duties. Ambulances do not function that way. Now years ago, Miami-Dade had a few older rescue trucks assigned only as ambos/patient transports. They called them squads and they were not dispatched to calls. Rather, they responded when called for by a rescue on scene. It replaced the call to the private ambulance company. I don't know if they still do that with budget cuts and all. Hope that clears things up.

Actually, they call them aerials

[karl4700]

They term "rescue" for ambo's is common throughtout most of Florida. It is also common on the west coast such as California and Nevada (as well as other areas). I can't say I personally agree with that term how they use it, but it's out there more then we think.
