These new units will be built on 2022 International MV chassis’ and will have Road Rescue’s 170” long all aluminum walk-thru module with 72” interior headroom. In addition to Road Rescue’s standard all aluminum interior cabinetry and whisper quiet sound deadening thermal insulation system, these fully customized units will also have 6” dropped skirts, integrated rear chevron lighting systems, Pioneer LED scene lighting, Brigade 360 degree overhead view camera systems, as well as Stryker Performance Load Cot Systems. Additional safety systems include Per4Max seatbelt restraint systems, fully CN-10 compliant cabinet doors, safety net at the head of the squad bench, and LiquidSpring Suspension System for improved ride and patient comfort. These top of the line features, coupled with Road Rescue’s rock solid engineering will provide years of dependable service to this busy department. As always, we appreciate the continued business and support from this Northwest Indiana customer.

  They also have a Horton Ambulance at station 4, but that was an emergency purchase after one of the reserve ambulances was in a wreck.

  Not everyone let alone a fire department has blind loyalty one one builder or another. Many do. Perhaps bad experience or more likely, they may have came in $12.00 cheaper when they sent out for bids.

  I’m curious about why Hammond is switching to the International chassis after using Freightliner for quite some time now.

  The opposite happened in our surrounding burbs with previous International users switching over to Freightliner. Look at Wheeling, Skokie, Morton Grove,
  Naperville and Mokena who have switched along with Des Plaines and Buffalo Grove following their lead.
