Our Fleet Services department manages the 22 emergency vehicles in the fleet. We have several different types of emergency vehicles in our fleet:

We operate Fiat Ducatos for the non-emergency patient transfer service ambulances (NEPT). Four of these patient transfer service ambulances operate Monday to Friday;

Petrol powered Chevrolet Silverado ambulances were used in the past to make up the emergency ambulance service fleet. We currently have five of these vehicles in commission, and as part of our Fleet Replacement Programme they will be replaced with new ambulances in the next few years;

In the last three years, we have been transitioning to diesel powered Mercedes Sprinter ambulances, and now have twelve of these vehicles as part of our frontline fleet. More fuel-efficient (2.9 litre diesel compared to the 6 litre petrol Silverados), they also have an improved turning arc and a fluorescent yellow exterior. Typically we operate a total of 12 front-line emergency ambulances each day, with nine rostered on at night;

The Rescue Squad has two four wheel drive vehicles - a Chevrolet Suburban fully equipped with medic and rescue equipment, including a rescue stretcher (Stokes Basket) and an electric capstan winch with 3500 Kg pulling power, and a Mitsubishi Triton which acts as a support vehicle.

We have two Incident Command vehicles, both Mitsubishi Pajeros and crewed by Intensive Care Paramedics. These vehicles are used for incident management and coordination with other emergency services (fire, police, Life Flight etc) in the event of a serious or unusual emergency (such as a multiple-vehicle collision). The Incident Command vehicles also manage communications between paramedics on the scene and Communications Centre staff. One of our Pajeros has been kindly supplied to WFA courtesy of Mitsubishi Motors Ltd.
