King County Medic One has recently placed eight new paramedic units in service in South King County. The paramedics share quarters in fire stations throughout the area. These new units are built by Braun Northwest on 2014 International TerraStar chassis. The feature an air suspension that drops when the rear doors are open for patient access.
King County Medic 5, shown here, is house in Renton's Fire Station 11. It received the first of the eight new vehicles and uses a new graphics package. I was told that, very soon, new ambulances will be required to have graphics similar to those seen on the front fenders. Those graphics are to be in day-glo blue and yellow. Neither of the paramedics I spoke to seemed too excited about that color combination.
