The Broadview Fire Department received a new a Wheeled Coach Type I ambulance on a F-450 4×4 chassis.
This from Ryan Wyckoff:
Just saw Broadview’s new ambulance in their station this morning. Its a 2012 Ford F-450/Wheeled Coach. Not in service yet. Lettered as Ambulance 218. Old ambulance 218, Ford/Medtec will be taken OOS. Think that one is a 1996 or 1998.

I was told it is to be used for responses in snow, heavy rain and brush fires.

Josh its not a shift commander car its going to be used for responses but they still have to finish it. I have sent all of Broadview except for the squad to be put on the site when he can.

Broadview has a new very cool shift commander vehicle. Its a Hummer H1 painted all red with Broadview Fire Department on it, as well as a ton of LEDs. It says incident command. Ill try to get a picture to share it.

Broadview is ALS and has been for many years. They aren’t going to replace the tower, unless they get a grant someday…too expensive and there are other more important things that they should probably replace first. Plus, they don’t have the manning to run the tower unless it is requested mutual aid to another town.
