Chief paramedic excited about cost-saving new models


Sprinter model. Sprinter ambulances of many different designs are used by paramedic services around the world. This model is used in Australia, while another model is being developed in Montreal for use in Renfrew County.
In a pilot project that could result in growing use across Ontario, the Renfrew County paramedic service will purchase five Sprinter ambulances from Demers Ambulance of Montreal.

Although the cost has not been finalized, chief paramedic Mike Nolan says his Renfrew County fleet will replace its five oldest ambulances for an estimated cost of $150,000, compared to about $165,000 for the discontinued Ford ‘E’ series of ambulances.

Thought it would be cool to share. They look soo odd compared to the box on wheel of the current units.

These are starting to pop up in the Niagara Region too

I have seen one in Waterloo region but a different style to the one posted, ours here is the sprinter cut-away with the square box. Will post pic if I see it in the coming days.
