Denmark-based Falck and Nevada-based Community Ambulance have submitted applications to the Arizona DHS seeking a 'Certificate of Necessity' to operate ambulance services in Maricopa County.

The San Diego Rural Metro rigs are already rebranded to AMR.

Interesting.
AMR just started brand-new "from scratch" service here in the Metro NY area this week.  They already have operations in Upstate NY, but those were former Rural/Metro operations that they acquired when they bought them out.
AMR has pulled out of the Metro NY area twice in the past several years.....they came in, like they always do,  assuming they can gobble up all the smaller companies and competition, and in turn get the contracts, but it didn't work out for them.
It will be very interesting to see how this works out if Envision decides to sell the operation.
 

Envision Healthcare is currently accepting bids from companies that are interested in acquiring American Medical Response. The first round of bids should to be completed this month. Additional bidding rounds could take place over the next couple of months. Envision hopes to close on the sale of AMR by the end of this year. It will be interesting to see if AMR is sold in whole, or sold off in chunks.

Here's a better photo of one of the new Demers...

Here's Peoria's 3rd rescue.  I was initially told it would be going to 199's at Lake Pleasant, due to the 4wd, but most recently they've just been using it in rotation with the other two.

Hello everyone - Just got my login renewed, so I can post now.
Here are Peoria's two Ford F-350/Demers Type I's that went in service earlier this year.  They'll be rotated between Rescues 193 and 195, along with the F-350/Northstar 4x4 Type I that was delivered last year.
 
 
 

Phoenix FD is ordering 10 additional RAM/Demers Type I ambulances.

I noticed Tempe PMT station 275 and Scottsdale PMT station 604 have been rebranded to Life Line Ambulance.
