New ambulances for Rockford FD

Fire Service, Inc. would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to Chief Michelle Pankow, Logistics and Safety Chief Matt Cordonnier, and the entire team at the City of Rockford Fire Department for their recent purchase of three brand-new Wheeled Coach Type 1 Ford F550 ambulances. Since 2011, Rockford has consistently chosen Fire Service, Inc. and Wheeled Coach as their trusted ambulance partner—proving that quality and reliability are key in emergency services.

These state-of-the-art ambulances have been specifically tailored to meet the unique needs of the Rockford Fire Department. They feature dual-sided suppression compartments, a patented Cool Bar HVAC system with tents, Whelen emergency warning systems, Fire Tech HI VIZ Brow lighting, and the Stryker Power Load System. The inclusion of IMMI-controlled deceleration restraints and the Safeguard Box Frame ensures maximum safety and durability for first responders and patients alike.

In addition, the AntiCor Protection System, combined with the ToughCoat Paint process, delivers an advanced, high-performance finish that resists corrosion and maintains its appearance over time. This innovation represents a major leap forward in ambulance technology, offering unmatched protection and longevity.

We are incredibly proud to continue our partnership with the City of Rockford Fire Department and deeply appreciate their trust and support. These new ambulances will help ensure that Rockford remains equipped with the best tools available to serve their community with excellence and care.
