This from Dennis McGuire, Jr:
Merrionette Park just purchased a used 2009 Ford F-450/Horton (X-Lombard, Illinois) to replace a 2004 Ford E-350/McCoy Miller. The old ambulance was 2672 and the newer one will be 2682.

Thanks for the update Dennis. It certainly explains a lot.

CMK420, the ambulance that was purchased from Crestwood is plagued with mechanical problems and it was decided to just replace it instead of dumping more money into it. This newer ambulance is in great shape and will certainly last MPFD many years of service.

Wow–Didn’t they just get that Crestwood ambulance not too long ago?

The X-Crestwood ambulance is being sold. MPFD runs two ambulances, each are rotated the 1st of each month to equal the wear and tear.
