It would help if I actually included the picture...

This isnt a great picture, other than being a little blurry, I like it.

Nice shot Phil. Does anyone else think that the scene light on the cab is in a very unusual place...just looks odd in my opinion. Other than that though very nice rig Affton has.

I was thinking it looked awkward as well. The paramedic said they are expecting chrome wheel covers to be on sometime next week. I think it looks fine with the white rims, it matches the white/yellow cab.

Now I come from small town and we only have 1 ambulance and others squads in the area are considered big if they have 2. So I was quite impressed by the Greenport Rescue Squad from over in Columbia County, NY. I'll let the photos do the talking..... I would say that the number of ambulances needed to be maintained should be determined by factors including number of calls, population served, geographical size of coverage area, distances to the hospitals, how many times are there multiple calls at once, and the distance of mutual aid responders. And then of course is the big factor: funding. I happen to live in a suburban area in a squad with 3 rigs. Since 1939, my volunteer squad has served 3 towns that presently has a total population of about 27,000, an average of 1400 calls annually, 26 square miles, 3 hospitals within 15 miles (the primary being 4 to 10 miles), 200-300 times each year that we need to have 2 rigs in service at the same time and maybe 50 times each year a need for all 3 in service at once, and we have 9 mutual aid volunteer squads within 8 miles plus a daytime paid back up from our closest hospital. There are days when every everybody is being called out constantly and then there are days with no calls for anybody. For my own squad, we are fortunate that all 3 town budgets always give us sizable donations ($15,000 to $20,000 each), over $300,000 in donations. Volunteer squads in our area do not bill for services rendered like paid squads and volunteers in other states. So maybe what there is low population or rural areas is sufficient.

Rescue 56 Horton I sure like that ambulance! Based on your pictures, I'll have to ask the driver why she didn't have the amber arrow lights on, per SOG... <img src='http://www.firepics.net/groupboards/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='  ' />

Phil, Bklyn.[/quote] The first thing I noticed when I looked at this pic was the old ALF 700 in the background. It makes for a cool shot to have these two stacked up, they are of a similar vintage, give or take a few years and they both look like their ready to roll together. J

On our department, for any calls on public roads, all members must wear a reflective vest and the driver must put on the amber arrow sticks to warn other traffic. Must have just caught the picture during the cycle where the lights are off for a second.
