“I have two ambulances that are on 2008 Ford chassis'. Both ambulances have had multiple problems and have been in the shop several times. I have spoken with the folks at Ford motor company and have not had satisfactory results. My fear is that one of these units will be transporting a critical patient and break down enroute to the hospital leading to the death of the patient. As a fire chief I am very concerned about this. Any assistance would be appreciated.”

I immediately grabbed my 3 year old daughter from her car seat as the cab filled with smoke and ran approximately 300 feet away and told my daughter to stay. …”
