[Scan-DC] Ambulance 723 sighted

[oldsdoug at hotmail.com]

Spotted "A715" (Burtonsville, or "Beantown", as we used to call it, Station 15) today just getting onto I-270 from 495 (presumably on the way to somewhere in Rockville on some administrative mission).  It also has the chevrons, but only on the lower part of the rear (from the windows down, iIrc).  It's a Frightliner (!), a 2007 by the stock number (07-2498).

Ambulance (or more probably Medic) 723 was here at Muttgummery College in Rockville the other day, just after the original post... it's an International.

Yeah, they haven't switched the call signs yet.  I wonder what Martin Best, George Smith, Mac Hobbs and all the dispatchers of that generation would think of all the changes over the years...

Squad 751, KMG-7365  :(
