Medic Twelve is a 2000 Ford Diesel F-350 XLT Superduty Chassis with a module remanufactured by TransMed for the 2000 product year. It is a Type I module with halogen strobe lighting all around, and a high volume fuel tank. The walk-through compartment area has been sealed to provide air-tight containment when this is used as a morgue unit. This unit is not marked in the normal ambulance manner, so there will be no mistaking it for one on scenes. |
Florence County EMS Medic Twelve is stationed at the Headquarters of EMS, on 527 S. Church Street, Florence. This is a specially built multi-purpose unit. Its primary function is as a support unit for operations, to provide a point for rehabilitation for emergency workers in the event of large scale incidents, and to transport extra necessary equipment to the scene. It also is used as a morgue unit as needed, and is equipped with items to facilitate morgue duties, such as sanitary equipment, isolation gear, and breathing-air packs. At the discretion of the Shift Supervisor, he or she can transfer their administrative setup over to this unit and respond to a scene to establish a command post. The roles that this unit serves are still being decided.
