The Anne Arundel County Fire Department on Tuesday unveiled a 26-patient, bus-style ambulance, a vehicle for treating and transporting people in a variety of emergencies, including mass casualties, heat-related problems at large public events and evacuations of nursing homes.
Depending on needs, the ambulance can hold 14 patients on stretchers or eight in wheelchairs, or 26 in its seats. Division Chief Michael E. Cox Jr. said its features include the ability to supply individually metered oxygen to 23 patients at once, as well as state-of-the-art radio capability.
