Merrionette Park will have to bid on it because its already been approved to go to bid for disposal.

It will go to Medic 45. The spare (unequipped) that sits at Station 45 is the one that will be sold. Medic 45 will move to 47, 47 becomes 46 and 46 becomes the unstocked spare.

Sharp looking rig. It does look longer than their previous ambulances. I am sure it will serve them well. Will this be Medic 44 or 45?

So, if Merrionette Park is in talks to buy another one of Lombard’s reserve medic units, which one of Lombard’s reserves will they get? Would this be 2612?

It is a gas engine.
Merrionette Park has been in talks Lombard about buying the old spare medic.
This is an entirely new design and larger box than any of the previous medics the department has owned.

Looks good! Moving away from the Horton 457 model I see. Looks like this might be the 623 model?

I think it is gaser. A lot of departments are moving towards the F550 chassis with the 7.3 Gas engine. They are also 4 wheel drive but I’m not sure if that is optional or not. Great to have 4×4 though!

this means that marionette park is getting a new ambo I know that they are lined up to buy their old ambo just like they did with 2602

Looks to be a larger module than their previous deliveries.
