Suburban Ambulance Service (1985)

Bill Kleiber sent in a new set of pictures from "back in the day" when he worked for Suburban Ambulance Service. These fantastic pictures are a great representation of what Suburban was like back in the mid-80's.

Thank you, Billy!

The guys on-duty told me that the Guntersville Fire Department is the only other department in the state with an LED Roto-Ray on the front of the apparatus. They also told me that they've noticed a big difference in traffic movement with the addition of the Roto-Ray....
