Nice to hear some good feedback on Osage! We are pretty fortunate to have some good ambulance builders in America!

I’ve worked in a number of different ambulances from various manufacturers and Osage has been my favorite. They are pretty popular where I work in Virginia and it does appear that they are popping up more and more in the Chicago area.

This Rig Looks Huge It has to be going to Sta. 1 because the ambo has its own bay there If they put it at station 2 there’d be no room left.

I mean if you look at North Palos and Roberts Park. They have used Osage for years and keep remounting chassis on them so I would assume the box holds up pretty well and they aren’t slow departments by any means. This will be a interesting test because BI is super busy all day long and the have some very rough streets.

How are the Osage ambulances working out for those who have them? They seem to be sprouting up more and more in the Chicagoland area. Any feedback would be appreciated!
