Ever Seen a Lime Green Ambulance?

**firedude** · February 17th, 2012, 07:22 PM

This bus belongs to Wilton EMS in Wilton, NY. Saw it on a scene of a MVA in Greenfield. To see more videos from the scene, check out my youtube channel. FYI, it's a hypothetical question.

You can see a glimpse of the rear lighting here...

Add Henrico County, VA to the list, they've got about 15 of 'em. ;-)

Austin Travis County is regarded as one of the best EMS systems in the USA, and the world. They are lime green:

In the 1970's , Cleveland, Ohio Police Wagons and Fire Squads were forced by the mayor's office, to go to Lime Green on most vehicles.

The Fire had 4 squads, and police did a lot of meat wagon runs with Rambler Station Wagons, all lime green.

The gurneys barely fit into the Ramblers.

Cleveland Fire Chief ordered all new lime green vehicles to have Gold Leaf on their sides, to take away from the Limeness.

None of those look as green as the original one posted. Those look yellow to me.

**spike91** · February 17th, 2012, 10:29 PM

I work for Maine Ambulance in upstate NY, the older rig has that green on it. They've sinced moved on to white and blue rigs. I'll try to find a picture somewhere.

Yeah man, I don't know what these people are smoking... Only the one in the OP is green.

**dmathieu** · February 17th, 2012, 11:07 PM

I like the green one!

I can assure you, the Henrico rig is lime green. Park it next to a Chesterfield yellow ambulance and there's no comparison. It might not be as green as the OP's, I'll conceed that...

FLYOD County GA run kelly green ambulances and Newton County runs lime green and orange ambulances.

**RL1** · February 17th, 2012, 11:58 PM

Trucks are green

squads are more yellow, but that's because they are in the sun a lot more

That ambulance is more yellow than lime green.

Cypress Creek EMS was awarded Best Provider of the year at the Texas EMS conference in 2011. and the medical director was awarded Medical Director of The Year. w00t

Apparently there's a lot of color blind people on this board....uh oh, could it be linked to staring at led's for too long? someone should do a study !!!!

Oh God... A little off topic, but I hate the new International cabs with a passion, so freaking ugly!!

**Lightbarnut** · February 18th, 2012, 07:43 AM

This is the first time I've seen one. Wow it does look bad. But it's not the cab itself, as I can tell that it hasn't changed, but the hood looks like it is off of one of their heavier duty trucks. Definately looks mismatched.

**BackYardSales** · February 18th, 2012, 09:07 AM

Screaming Bananas are fairly common.

There used to be a lot more of them, but there seems to be a changeover in progress to other schemes.

**PC Comms** · February 18th, 2012, 09:51 AM

I remember the first time I saw green being used on any apparatus. I was a kid at the time and it was down in the Englishtown NJ area (Old Bridge Township, I believe). Being an NYC boy where EVERYTHING was either red or blue, it totally blew me away! lol

I didn't think it could get any worse than the current-gen Ford E-series and F250+ front end!

OH GOD KILL IT KILL IT

**andrewsim** · February 18th, 2012, 10:00 AM

The rest of the vehicles are that green color, absolutely ridiculous in person.

Actually, it's rhetorical question. We now return you to your regularly scheduled post.

In my original post that wouldn't load, I made reference to that. Somehow it got left out when I re posted.

Also, if you've been around our area long enough, you may remember some of the older trucks had a more greenish tint to it.

Dang it! Ya beat me to it. Yes, Henrico County Fire Department's ambulances are painted to match their apparatus. Volunteer groups and private ambulance companies choose their own paint schemes and that distinguishes them from the county owned units.

**Dave@P1** · February 18th, 2012, 02:09 PM

The Concord Township Fire Department in Elkhart, IN utilizes lime green apparatus. Their buses are all white with a "Minute Man Green" accent.

My town has a lot of lime green vehicles. Well, they start out lime green, then fade to a light yellow over time lol..
