Dr. Stinebaugh, This is a Miller-Meteor body on BCCR's ambulance. You can tell by the unique corner "meteor" lights that were made by M-M and only placed on their units.

CFD started their EMS service in May,1977, and had some members do ride-alongs with Baltimore City FD ambos to gain field experience prior to the start-up date. CFD now has paramedics on all ambulances.

Rescue 1 was a 1975 Ford E-350/Braun, shown here responding from the HQ built in 1977-78.

This style was prevalent thru the 80's and 90's for CFD ambos; 1990 Ford E-350/Medtec. CFD EMS units were now known as "medics".

The latest style of medic for CFD is this 2001 Freightliner FL-60/Horton. CFD now maintains a fleet of 4 medic-ambulances,of which 2 are usually manned, and the other 2 can be activated in minutes, using personnel cross-trained from CFD engine and aerial tower companies.
