Seattle Fire Dept.'s Ambulances

[engine173351]

After seeing a photo of the ambulances used by the Seattle Fire Department (Medic One), one question came to mind. Who is the manufacturer? I don't think I have ever seen an ambulance without some sort of a curbside door.

Can you provide a link? After a quick google search...they look like they could be freightliners or internationals...I'm horrible at telling the difference.

I know where I worked we had curbside doors with a retractable step and we ran with both of the above.

I googled Seattle FD at http://www.seattle.gov/fire/medics/medicOne.htm What is pictured looks like a regular type 3 box ambulance, possibly a Chevy chassis, by the hood slant.

This is the photo that got me interested in the box.

That looks like a Ford chassis to me.

I'm still not sure what you're asking here... we have given you information on what we think it is... It's a fairly common box if that's what you're asking...
