I know there have been a few posts tracking the delivery of the new Chicago ambulances on the Ram 3500 chassis. The first of these appear to now be in service – Ambulance 31 is shop # C-252. 
 
Thanks,

This from Eric Haak:

Chicago’s 19th Battalion had a working fire this morning (Sunday, 6/24) at 7241 S. Sangamon. The fire came in at 5:45 and Engine 54 landed a short time later with a fire on the first floor. I arrived just in time to catch companies washing down. While the rear attic window was being laddered, a mother pitbull and 5 of her puppies came charging out the back door. Thankfully, all were friendly and didn’t seem at all bothered by the work going on around them.
