#1 A - i like the freightliner/medic master boxes or E-ONE boxes , why? BIGGER , MORE RESPECT & YOU SIT HIGH UP BETTER VIEW FOR DRIVING...
#2 - MIAMI DADE COUNTY SOUTH FLORIDA
WHY , VERY BIG , GREAT MONEY , HAVE ALL THE TOYS , USAR TEAM ETC. , ETC. ETC..

The answer to #1 is most definitely A.
I agree about more respect, but moreover, the more room you have to work (ie pt. card. arrest) the better off you are to perform ACLS procedures, not to mention working around the person bagging, and the person doing chest compressions. Furthermore, think about MVAs with multiple Pts. My dept.'s administration is considering smaller medunits for cheaper cost. You get what you pay for! Definitely answer A!

My answer #2. Not real sure.
Have not been to any of those cities recently. Seatlle is probably the EMS capital in the US.

Be safe.

Answer to first question: A, ride quality, storage, work room, overall money saver if you do long transports, better traffic blocker.

Second question: I am not sure, I do love my job and I love the FD I work for... I have a cheif that understands paramedics (because he is one), who will back his FF up until the end, and we have a great working enviroment.
