Prices for both are insane. 350k for an ambulance and 800 for an engine? Come on.

That is rediculous for an engine.

Which ever engine is getting replaced the old one will likely go to station 13 as a front line since its a low call volume station.

I wonder which Engine they will replace? Most likely Engine 6.

Reading the minutes, that what it said.
Maybe it’s a new hybrid ambulance/fire truck. When not going on medical calls, it’s putting out fires.

maybe the ambo and police cars are the one price and the engine the other

I sure hope that’s a typo that they’re paying just as much for an ambulance as an engine.
