Highland Park, Texas DPS. An affluent area in the heart of Dallas. These guys/gals are cross-trained in Fire, Police, and EMS. This first rig is a 1948 ALF, 750-300, it was their second out engine/reserve.

This was their backup ambulance. 1970's Chevy Suburban/Summers ambulance. It was a BLS unit just prior to them becoming an ALS service. Sorry about the photo quality.

When they became an ALS service this ambulance was their first out unit. It is a 1970's Ford/Modular Corp. ambulance.

Sorry, I have to end this brief post. I'll try to be a regular poster. Thank you to everyone who assisted me getting these pictures posted. Also, if anyone has any corrections, please let me know, as I want to have as up to date specs as possible. Thanks, Robert.
