Jacksonville paramedic video 1972

[Wailer]

Check out this YouTube video.  Beacon Ray 17 series lights, Federal mechanical Q sirens, and late 1960s Federal electronic sirens with low-pitched tones.  Also an interesting description of what EMS was like before paramedics came along.

Great video! Thanks.

And I think I'll start referring to my PA-15 as "that eerie harbinger of death" (1:23).

Nice, huh?  'I hear the ambulance coming, Henry.  Someone's about to die.'

Awesome video.  It is amazing how things have changed.
