[Scan-DC] New Ambulance For Loudoun County

[Doug K.]

Boy, it's funny... Freightliner must have gone through the ambulance 
industry like a fireball...  5 years ago you never saw any, now they are all 
over and almost nothing else exists... I've seen one International unit in 
Howard County (and low and behold, Sandy Spring in Montgomery is still using 
one of the old F*rds as a reserve piece).

I'd love to know the history on the Freightliner takeover...

I guess this is a bit off topic!  ;)
