assistant: YES !! that's the one I am talking about.. Our 911 EMS is looking at
buying some of those BIG RIGS.. why I don't know but they say they will
last longer and is better equiped to handle a big disaster.. I really
don't think that in a disaster that it is going to matter if the rigs
are busy on other calls and they have to turn it over to the private
services (NOT IN THIS COUNTY) !!
Ford Supermedic ?? Is that the one from McCoy Miller ??
Well thinks again for writting back and hope to hear from you soon !!

That is very true around here, too.  AMR is just TOO big, and they seem to
have more of a "corporate" attitude, which many people don't like.  Our
company is a not-for-profit company, and because of that, we have been able
to maintain our highest priority as our service to the community, not how
much money we can make.  AMR is starting to lose a LOT of contracts to us in
this area, mostly due to the quality of care they provide to the various
cities.

assistant: The other night they purchased a Ford type III Supermedic from Road
Rescue Inc.
It's really nice. Lots of room, lots of storage space. The only changes
that are going to be made to it, is the addition of 2 strobes in the
grill, 1 strobe on each front quarter panel, and a strobe on each end of
the lightbar. It's got a 350 diesel with the power stroke. It stills
needs to be striped and lettered yet.

I think that in general competition is good, and the more the better.
The problem with any company that dominates a market is that they all
too often adopt a take it or leave it attitude. This applies not only to
the customers, but to the employees as well. I hope that the trend
continues and that there are a lot of smaller companies that can serve
as a counter poise to AMR.

if you missed a week even if it was a vaild excuse like going to a wedding or
