Posted October 24, 2015 (edited) I would assume as soon as town council signs , Have the new cars at AMR been lettered ? Are they Ford Type 3's and QC looking at leasing there New Horton to AMR Edited October 24, 2015 by GilbertFIRE Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 24, 2015 I would assume as soon as town council signs , Have the new cars at AMR been lettered ? Are they Ford Type 3's and QC looking at leasing there New Horton to AMR I'll be checking on the new AMR rigs in a day or two. Will try to grab a few photos to post here. Yes, they're Ford type 3's. The boxes are built by AEV. Will also try to track down ABC Ambulance's new type 2 Dodge Ram ProMaster rig. Btw, Maricopa Ambulance plans to put 30 new rigs into service in metro Phoenix if they are issued the CON they are seeking at the moment. Two will be for 'critical care' transport. I assume those will be boxes. The other 28 will be brand new Mercedes Sprinter type 2's. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted October 26, 2015 No luck yesterday finding the AMR Gilbert rigs at AMR's office. Maybe they're still at the graphpics shop or possibly they're being stored at some other facility. Will try to check again in a couple of weeks. Unfortunately, ABC Ambulance's new Ram ProMaster type 2 was probably out doing a transport when I drove by ABC's station. There was an old Ford type 2 parked out front but I found it not to be photo worthy. Below is a link to a couple of photos of their new ambulance. It's the one in the middle. https://flic.kr/p/yZVh82 https://flic.kr/p/y43vDV Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted October 31, 2015 (edited) one was in the lot at SanTan Ford today, not yet, SWA still covering, But when AMR takes over, some of the old East Valley cars are going to Pinal County I assume they will get restriped Edited October 31, 2015 by GilbertFIRE Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 3, 2015 one was in the lot at SanTan Ford today, not yet, SWA still covering, But when AMR takes over, some of the old East Valley cars are going to Pinal County I assume they will get restriped I drove past AMR's office yesterday. Unfortunately, the Gilbert rigs were parked in the garage and I wasn't able to get a photo. Just found out Gilbert FD's December CON hearing date has been postponed. The new hearing date is scheduled for mid April. It now appears it will be next summer before Gilbert gets its own CON. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 6, 2015 AMR is on creatives MOTOTRBO system and you're unable to monitor them. SW told their employees in Gilbert & Queen Creek (including W-221) they will cease to service Gilbert and Queen creek beginning next week. In order to absorb some of the displaced employees SW is bringing back W213 & W-214 as 16hr trucks on an ABC Kelly schedule. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted November 7, 2015 (edited) I don't think 5 24 hrs & 2 peak cars is going to be enough You get a MVA at night and you send 2 or 3 cars there and you get 1 or 2 other calls there's nothing else left. Even if you have 1 car available, where to do you station it to cover all of Gilbert & QC, your talking a lot of territory, I think you need atleast 7 or 8 24hr cars Edited November 7, 2015 by GilbertFIRE Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 7, 2015 Just as PMT does in TMP, SCT, PEO. You pull from your inter facility ops. I'm sure SW will be involved in a M/A basis as well. Plus doesn't Gilbert have a rescue they sometimes out in service when SW is level 0? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
