The new ambulance and engine at Countryside FPD Station 2 have been added to the website. Countryside numbers their apparatus by station and response position. This means that any physical ambulance running first-out at station 2 is Ambulance 412. Each vehicle has a slot with a slide-in number to designate which unit it is. Therefore, when viewing the page for Countryside Station 2, there are two units listed as Ambulance 412 and two shown as Engine 412 as well.
The ambulance which has been previously posted HERE and HERE is a 2012 Type I Horton on a Ford F-450 4×4 chassis.
The engine is a 2012 Rosenbauer America built in their South Dakota facility (formerly Central States). It has a top-mount operator’s panel with speed-lays and a short body style to minimize the overall wheelbase. The new engine carries 1,000 gallons of water and 50 gallons of Class-A foam. The pump is rated at 2,000-GPM. It is on a 2011 Spartan chassis with a Gladiator cab with the Evolution Series trim.
The rear of the engine houses cordless Hurst eDraulic extrication tools that are battery operated.
Deep rescue-style compartments on both sides of the body feature many slide-out shelves and tool boards.
