PCI Code 3 parade

[@EmergencyGuy]

The Crown Firecoach is most remembered as Engine 51 and other Engine Companies from Los Angeles County during the run of the 1972 television series “Emergency!”. “Emergency!” began with a pilot episode called “The Wedsworth-Townsend Act”, which was based on the Wedworth Townsend Paramedic Act, which brought paramedics into the fire departments around Los Angeles County around mid to late 1970, the same time the “Emergency!” pilot episode “The Wedsworth-Townsend Act” was set in. The rest of “Emergency!” is set in 1972 and 1973 respectively. Sadly, some of the cast members have since passed away, including Dixie McCall, RN (Julie London), her husband, Joseph Early, MD (Julie’s real life husband Bobby Troup), Firefighter Chet Kelly (Tim Donnelly), and Captain Richard Hammer (real LACoFD Captain). The engineer on Engine 51, Engineer Mike Stoker (real LACoFD Engineer and captain until retirement at LACoFD Station 106 in Rolling Hills Estates, CA), is part of the Screen Actors’ Guild and was featured in the show to drive and operate Engine 51, which was very expensive to construct and maintain for the show.

Loved your video. Those 2 burbans ambulances are super awesome as I had a 70 burban panel body bucket coroner truck. But that 60 chevy ambulance was cool as any Caddie I've ever seen

0:00 present sirens, 0:25 vintage sirens 🚨 🚒🚑

[@rickfranklin1453]

1979 was the last year for a passenger car based ambulance.

[@randyinvegas405]

cool; dont see those anymore in service

[@nrkeks2347]

Not really, in some European countries you will see some E Class conversion ambulances

[@walter_248]

​@@nrkeks2347In the Netherlands they sometimes use converted Mercedes sedans, don't how often though

[@1Hearsed]

It sure was! 77 was the last sedan based commercial chassis before going to vans, I believe due to new medical transport standards and regulations. im sure cheaper cost was a factor as well.

[@canadianwing]

awesome! thanks for sharing!

[@DTD110865]

That '60 Chevy stood out among all the Cadillacs. I take it the Crown Vic in front was leading the parade so that all the emergency vehicles could flash their lights and zap their sirens legally without being mistaken for being used in real emergencies.

0:17 esta sirena se sigue ocupando, la ocupa LAFD, Seattle police department y la policía de México. Pero la policía de México la ocupa en sus unidades que quedaron restantes desde su uso hasta la actualidad, pero las nuevas unidades de la policía de México traen la whelen, y la federal signal smart siren ss2000

0:35 great color. Looked like a hearse conversion. Nice Crown Coach wiping up the rear

[@infinitecanadian]

Awesome! They even had a Crown Firecoach, which I have seldom seen in a parade. Like+Favo+Sub
