New ambulance in Broadview

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.
