Texas Emergency Medical Servies

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.
