Anyone has pics of SCDF 'new' ambulances?? The one with 'KEEP CLEAR' at back doors??

I guess “QX5216J” might have the pics but fyi not all “lastest alphas” have the keep clear reflective signs at the back

But from what i know, the 'Newest & Lastest' Ambulances are with "Emergency Ambulance" at front engine cover and "Keep Clear" at back doors rite?? The batch before this had only Ambulance on engine cover??

Hmm, can't exactly let you know what happened coz I was on night duty last tues but I guess must be a case of either fainting, fall or breathless

If its floorball then most likely chance is fall & fractured either the upper/lower limbs...ever attended to a similar case at ITE Tampines which also involved floorball

QX4562R (A212) broke down along New Upper Changi Road 0740hrs today on the way to Changi General Hospital (Hotel 5). QX4950D (A222) was engaged to take over the case from A212. Cause of breakdown unknown (? Tyres) & recovery truck was spotted 0820hrs

Nope, luckily it was not a standby case but a case of man very sick & our alpha (A222) was despatch to take over the case...

QX4952Z was temp deployed as A221 today as QX5212U (perm A221) was involved in the scenario based exercise at the Kallang-Paya Lebar Expressway (KPE) & it became A223 at that time. However, QX5212U was back in action at about 8pm today...

For news report regarding that exercise, plz visit Mock accident staged at KPE to test emergency readiness

From the news article that I've provided earlier, well guess they deployed better looking appliances becoz got some VIPs there during the exercise...

they got a newer alpha, QX107, if not wrong. but wasnt deployed.
QX5212U is always wondering ard, dont know why. seen it a few times at Central FS.

and yes, most of the FS got their new Scania P360 PL as their DO Pump.
and i think, station 22 did not receive a new PL.
