That's a nice shot Seth. Where did you take it at? How many other Ambulance for Chicago did you see and what units were they numbered for? By the way in Chicago we don't don't call our Ambulances "Medics" we just call them Ambulances, both ALS and BLS. The BLS Ambulances are number in the 80's and the 90's series and our ALS Ambulances are number 1 through 60. Altogether we run with 60 ALS and 15 BLS Ambulances.

Are all 75 running 24 hrs? What is the busiest Ambulance and what are their run totals?

Here in STL, we run with 13 total medic units. 2 of them are only open 12hrs. Between us all we ran over 75,000 calls last year. And my medic unit (10) has been the busiest over the last few years with over 7,000 runs; running 20-30 calls in 24hrs.



We also just took delivery of 9 of 11 new medic units.
