M. Parsons Posted July 27, 2009 Report Share Posted July 27, 2009 With the Province taking over amublance service after April 1, 2009 technically all amublances in Alberta are provincially run, except for the transfer amublances I believe. Not long after the take over, former Edmonton amublances had the Edmonton logo covered over with a piece of blue decal. I propose that we post all Alberta amublances here going forward. To start off, ex Westlock EMS #1117 heading into Edmonton. It is a Demer's Mystere 160, according to the decal on the side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Board Admin A. Wong Posted July 27, 2009 Board Admin Report Share Posted July 27, 2009 Sounds good. Here are just a couple of my most recent spottings from the other thread, including one in AHS livery: And some shots from today: They are both Crestlines. Note that 2771 is likely from 1997-2002, and that 2875 is from 2003-2007. 2875 has LEDs on the grille and on the side by the turn signal, while 2771 I think has strobes.

T6H-5307N Posted July 27, 2009 Report Share Posted July 27, 2009 shall we start a list here as well?? Of course, it'll go nice right next to the Edmonton taxi roster :angry: So are we tracking inter-hospital units or just EMS? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lfdlt17 Posted July 27, 2009 Report Share Posted July 27, 2009 Not all ambulances are being run by the province, some places are just under contract to the province, such as Lacombe, where it is business as usual and is being run the same way it always has been. Inter-hospital ambulances are still ambulances, they have paramedics and EMTs just like city ambulances, they just dont go on 911 calls. And get pics of them while you can, they are done at the end of the year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Board Admin A. Wong Posted August 13, 2009 Board Admin Report Share Posted August 13, 2009 2392 (newest Ford chassis, I'm pretty sure this was in Edmonton EMS livery - 2388 was at least) is now in the AHS livery. Looks very plain unfortunately. Saw an old ambulance this morning marked as "Vehicle Support Unit" or something. I think this was mentioned before somewhere.

Board Admin A. Wong Posted August 13, 2009 Board Admin Report Share Posted August 13, 2009 Never noticed this on ambulances before, but look at the bumper on this one, it says H2270. (City of Edmonton fleet number) And here's a PRU with EPS D29: And a shot of 2678: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M. Parsons Posted August 25, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2009 White ex Edmonton EMS Crown Vic at the Boonie Doon ambulance station. Taken from a moving bus, so pardon the quality. I have a better shot... Sort of my shot anyways... taken at another time, if the other board member would ever post it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M. Parsons Posted August 28, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2009 Something I've been noticing... that must go along with what you said lfdlt17... There seems to be ambulances out there now with no identifcation of their former operators, I assume because the province has now taken over those operations. The attached amublance is not one of these, and still carries the markings of St. Paul. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speaking of Lacombe... this showed up at the University Hospital today. I couldn't find any fleet numbers on the ex Edmonton unit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awstott Posted September 2, 2009 Report Share Posted September 2, 2009 Last Bonnyville rig I saw still carried it's markings as wel. I have noticed some others that use the red and white livery that don't have anything indicating what region they're from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M. Parsons Posted September 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 2, 2009 I've noticed a small set on the front bumper in front of the passenger on most Took a look at the full res image... nothing on the bumper. Although I didn't take a photo of the rear, I did take a close look when I was there as I was expecting to find the number there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A. Wong-Roving Posted September 3, 2009 Report Share Posted September 3, 2009 Saw an ambulance labeled Prairie EMS with some nice red/blue chevrons on the back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Board Admin A. Wong Posted September 5, 2009 Board Admin Report Share Posted September 5, 2009 Saw that EMS Crown Vic with the older EMS logo - was at Kildare Station and then went east on 137 Avenue. The lights on the front grille are red, and the lightbar is red (on the edges) and orange on the inside, with alternating patterns. No blue. Siren is of the new type, I hear that type at night all the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Board Admin A. Wong Posted September 18, 2009 Board Admin Report Share Posted September 18, 2009 This probably doesn't fall under AHS, but spotted an "InifitAir" ambulance numbered "MEDIC 6" yesterday. I do have an ambulance picture from a few years back of MEDIC 3 - probably related somehow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

awstott Posted November 6, 2009 Report Share Posted November 6, 2009 So it would appear that the EMS crest/logo is coming off the Edmonton rigs. I saw two today. 2103 and another that had the crest covered over with an AHS logo. Looks very trashy as it doesn't even come close to matching.
