Paramedic Vans

I have been buying ambulances from mostly Matchbox.

Part of my collection of American cities is first responders.

In a major incident, fire, flood, terror attack, war, Godzilla, space aliens ambulances from all over will come to the scene.

Gotham City might have first responders from all over the nation depending on the severity of the incident.
 

Three Ambulances

Many times these big vehicles are mobile trauma centers.

The back and front of this vehicle needs a little painting on the lights.

Bottom is pretty good.

Top side.

Sometimes vehicles from many agencies and private vehicles will respond to the same incident.

In a very large incident ambulances from hundreds of miles away can respond.
 

Matchbox Ambulance

In a major emergency, where there is a real or potential possibility of injuries often large numbers of ambulances may be dispatched.

Matchbox has made a lot of different types of paramedic vehicles.

I often buy just about all of them that I can find.

At the scene of a major incident there can be dozens of them present.

This is a big truck in real life.

This is a very nicely detailed vehicle.
 

Ambulances

Large box ambulances are very common in the US over the last 30 years.

Matchbox makes a bunch of different ones.

This is one of my recent acquisitions. 

These are often mobile emergency rooms with multiple medical people and only one patient. 

So these are often big trucks on a heavy chassis.

Large box for all the work to get done.

Reasonable detail on the underside.

A large incident can cause the deployment of dozens or even more than 100 of these to a single location.

The back needs a little work to touch up the red, clear, and amber lights lenses.

More than one of these vehicles is available with several colors and graphics.

I tend to buy all the single ambulances that I find.

Back ends need more painting from when they come out of the box.
 

Ambulance

Matchbox ambulance.

I am making police, fire and medical for my American cities.

These big box ambulances are very common.

As the ability to preform remote medicine has increased, larger more capable ambulances are needed.

These big trucks are not as fast as some, but they carry a lot of life support gear.

In any civil unrest, civil war, Martian invasion, this type of vehicle would be on the front lines.

It's a nice model with a good heavy base.
