Medic One


The newest apparatus currently in service with The Perrysburg Fire Division is the red ambulance,you may see around town. Medic One is a 2008 Ford E-450 super duty cab with a 170" body. This truck was put into service in early 2009. It is the second apparatus to be painted the traditional fire engine red, replacing the yellow. You may feel the rumble as Medic One passes you on the way to an emergency. This advanced life support ambulance is equipped with a 'rumbler' siren. This type of siren is designed to actually make you feel the siren. Today's modern cars are so sound proofed this makes you feel it even if you cannot hear it. Medic One is staffed with at least 2 paramedics at all times and can gain help from Engine One if more personnel are needed.
