Did you want detailed pics of where stuff is stored, etc. It's amazing the amount of things we can cram into these ambulances, and to think Paramedics carry alot more!

Nah I heard two rocks 2 saturdays ago with a priority 2 I think it was. I remember that particularly because I was going to mates place, and he was a vollie at two rocks.

We rang for an ambulance on friday for a call at work that collapsed was quite surprised she didnt ask me for my number name as soon as i mentioned chest pain..she sighed and said well the ambulance will be arriving nuder priority ebcause you said chest pain...lol
They dont have a choice. Auto call system dishes out call after call - 000, non urgents, inter service.
perhaps she didnt ask for number due cli (caller line id) as it displays on screen auto

true i predict golden bay haha i dont know where amarillo is.
[/quote eswife ]Last time I was in the depot (I visited a couple of years ago), they had made the office into a bedroom, the lounge room into another bedroom, so 4 rooms in total. The dining area was the living room and the first ambulance bay was now the station managers office (all bricked in).
Seems like they could run 4 crews a day, and make pinjarra vollie only !!!
Mandurah is in the process of being rebuilt. Gonna be based on Vic Park, but not 2 storey. Think of the 2nd storey being tacked onto side.
Rumor is when the new highway to bunno goes thru there will be a dawesville depot about 5-10 km south of bridge to cover new hwy and sth mandurah area
