SBound I-5 this evening, a cab/chassis Rig that was generically marked "Ambulance", no other markings. US Govt license plate. VHF 1/4 wave, and a shorter stub (couoldn't tell much more) Any ideas who this would be? |

May have been from one of the military bases. They use very generic markings and have gov't plates. |

Naval Station Everett, Fire Station 29 in the Snohomish County Numbering system has a BLS Aid Car, and Lewis McChord Joint Military installation has ALS cars at Madigen Hospital. To service McChord and Lewis and civilians if you are in an MVA on I-5 in their area. |

Can't say for Mcchord, but when I worked at Lewis the FD went off base on about half their calls. Their equipment was marked up well. N7QOR, what was the cross on I-5? |

If it had orange trim, it probably was a VA ambulance. They have a couple at the American Lake facility in Lakewood. Probably returning from taking someone from there to the Seattle VA hospital (Usually the VA calls a private ambulance for this, but sometimes the company they contract with doesn't have anything available.) |

This color is not just VA it is your basic Fed color AMB. Fairchild AFB has 2 and Madigan has at least 2. |

I can confirm these are indeed used at the Various Mil. Bases. I was at Bangor Naval on Weds doing some work and saw a couple on base. white/orange trim with govt. plates. The markings as to unit 8) # and ID was in small letters on rear door low near the rear step bumper... 8) |
