Re: Ambulance services other than St John

Neither of those vehicles mentioned above belong to AMS or Hostile1. If this is the case in which i say it is, considering the owner of this vehicle ( 89 lexen) is employed by AMS, i would of thought the company would take action due to the fact he is driving a non approved (illegal) emergancy vehi...

Re: Ambulance services other than St John

Is it a AMS vehicle or is it a private vehicle thats been done up for some reason, cause i thought it was a bit strange for a company to be using such an old vehicle.

Re: General fire discussions

I thought it was a good read as it highlights major issues that appear to be not only confined to one state but to fire services all over australia.
