Ambulance services other than St John

[canon]

Took this quick snap the other day in West Perth. Not sure which operator it is. Crappy pic i know... taken in a hurry while stopped at a red light, dirty windscreen and all .

Thats an ALAS ambulance lol

I think thats one off the AMS trucks maybe, i know that one of the Advance Medical Service ambos i think the ones hostile1 uses was stopped for erratic driving up n down a local street with bells n whistles on after neighbour complaints.

Saw another ambulance service today, they were at a bus stop on south street with their reds and blues flashing and a stretcher out and a bloke with no tshirt was on the ground sitting up, next to the stretcher.

It had a very boxy looking back, with limited markings aside from a circular sticker with a green crest on it and the words 'Ambulance Service' (or something similar). Does anyone know who these guys are? I havn't seen any pics of them on here yet.

What was the location apart from South Street?

[Toottoot]

O'Connor, before Petterson Ave.

Hey toottoot check the pics section on warsug and tell me does it look like a First Intervention Ambo,

Is this the vehicle.

From what you described it sounds like it

St Johns should be getting more event work soon some smarty pants at AMS think that they had the monolopy and doubled there prices now clubs are looking elsewhere for ambo/first aid.

[Toottoot]

No not that one. No livery except for the round sticker with the crest on it. All the lights were LEDS. Was smaller than the first intervention one, maybe a ford courier type cab and the box was not as large as the first intervention one. I tried to get a pic as when I was heading back the other way it was heading down the road towards Fremantle hospital.

I thought it may have been a defence or prisons ambulance but it had state plates.

Damm *scratches head*

Got no idea hey probarly another new player in the market

[Toottoot]

The patient had his hands behind his back as though he had handcuffs on and the ambulance was facing the oncoming traffic so had gone the wrong way down one side of south street. It was a bit bizarre.

Spotted what looked like a white vz ss commodore with solid yellow striping at the bottom down both sides across front and rear of car with "paramedic" on the doors in blue and a led lightbar on the roof driving through freo this morning.

two guys in it had no uniform just civvie clothes

Anyone seen it ?

[WPXZBP]

Nope but most vehicles I have seen with solid yellow striping have been in the mines.

[gkoutlis]

Doubt a vehicle like this one mentioned would be for the mines...
