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 entire rear of Ambulance 412 is covered with chevron striping. Larry Shapiro photo
