Please tell me there is a 007 unit.
HA! That was my first question when I did my pre-hire tour. Sadly, not yet. But give it 10 years or less and their should be. Sounds like they number each new ambulance this way, so 005 is older than 006. Our call sign is 771 for first due and 772 for second.

I like 5's flash patterns (I might've flashed the forward-facing clear modules on the lightbar faster tho), but the only thing I'm not a fan of is the clear flashing to the rear.


With the exception of the back, 6 is a split fail nightmare. I also thought the slimmiser on the dash looked a little funny and probably gets drowned out easily with the rest of the front lighting

I agree on all accounts. I'd love to get my hands on them and make some improvements, but I have been advised not to.

I did it around 0100hrs at my last service and it took months before someone noticed. Being that I've been here only a month now, I'll just grimace when I see it and move on.
Oh yeah, that's the best part; people don't even REALIZE for eons. It just further proves how full of it they are.

Prior to moving and leaving this service, I was able to swap the lightheads on 006 a bit to make it not such a purple mess. Still a mess, but it is better than the original setup. Unfortunately this service went defunct when the city transferred the PSA to a private service...
