Crestline Prototype Ambulance Walkthrough ⎮CCL150⎮ 

And those are the quirks and features of 2020 crestline prototype ambulance. Now it's time to get it out on the road and see how it drives.

Nice! Can't wait for my next heart attack so I can try out one of these!

the simplicity of the o2 tank and the transfer system is outstanding.

12:38 Driver intention indicators, that's a great idea.

I worked as an EMT in the late 90's till the early 2000's and this was cool to look at.It is nice to see the changes to the bus design. Somethings I laughed at like the harnesses because where I worked those things would never be used.

I really wish they would have room up front for backpacks or bags and whatnot. I work for a city service that is system status so it's not like we have a base to keep our stuff at and I definitely don't want my lunchbox or bag back with the patients

I know this is weird, but I have a Crestline as a company vehicle lol, but it is retired as an ambulance, I use it as a service vehicle on an air force base, I was given the opportunity to choose a vehicle for myself, and I went with one of these, it works perfectly, it's so easy to keep clean, organized and I just love it.

I just wanted to say thank you for your vids. They were a contributing factor in my decision to go get my EMT-B. I just finished my class and I'm doing my first ride along Saturday. Thank you and keep up the good work.

Been here a while but still have to say your channel is awesome as hell. Getting into EMS partly due to you and you helped me pass EMT school.

*SOME PPL MIGHT NOT UNDERSTAND, SO LET ME HELP OUT OUR AWESOME HOST....PREPMEDIC* He mentions wind noise a good number of times, yes wind noise is just annoying, but add in that you must ride in that apparatus for 8-12 hrs(maybe up to 48hr straight) shift, you have a killer migraine & your boy/girl friend just dumped you thru a text mess.....SHIT!!!! now that wind noise is like sitting outside during a tornado w/150mph winds!!! OK, that be a bit much, but its true to the point that wind noise can be frustrating especially on bad days when your trying to help or save a persons life.....AWESOME VID PREPMEDIC!!! STAY SAFE BRO.

This was a great tour! You showed us the whole layout of the Ambo, switches, cabinets, and more. Very much appreciated! Please do this for all rigs. Subscribed.

That was great. Hope you enjoyed visiting us in Canada! 🇨🇦

I wish we had a truck like this! Very well thought out.

Nice tour, thanks for this opportunity to review what they can offer.

LOVE THIS CHANNEL

I'm in love. Crestline and their parent company Demers are really the only two options here in central/western Canada. I've worked on both and they both have features I really like, but this seems to have sort of combined what I like from both brands. Can't wait until I start seeing them around here!

Awesome job... They need to use this for their instructional overview in their sales .. very thorough.

Thank you Sam for your great video.

Crestline is thinking ahead on a lot of areas in the emergency vehicles. Seems very heavy duty, and well thought out. I can only imagine the improvement they have made since you did this review. Great video.

Thanks Sam, nice well thought out rig.

Awesome, detailed video

We just got some very similar to this one and let me tell you the cot in the middle is life changing! It’s so easy to get to any part of the patient and there is so much more space!

Well darn. If I’d known you were up north here I woulda bought ya a timmies eh. But seriously, keep up the amazing work, really enjoy the content.

Riggs never have a good place for you to put your personal items like your back pack and some lunch.

Looks a lot like the rigs we have coming into my division. Only thing it doesn’t specifically have is a camera in the pt compartment, I find those useful to keep an eye on how my partner and pt are doing on the long distance psych transfers that we so often get.

Great video very interesting.

That remote electrical sounds like a security nightmare.

Fancy If I win the lottery I'll buy a bunch and give them out 😎

Some of our ambulances where I work have the same wheel base as our fire engines. The long ambulances are nice for space but not as fun to drive. We also have SCBA on our ambulances because personnel from the first due ambulance (often three firefighter/ EMS providers) will augment the crew of the first due engine on fire calls because we often only have 8 units staffed. Furthermore we have a compartment for water rescue equipment due to our location.

Awesome to see you in Saskatoon at Crestline. I spent time there doing training. Hello Rina H.

Nice new 🚑 set up. Love sum of the new teachers driver the president in Decatur IV bag change

The ccl150 as bin done in conjonction with Demers Ambulances. You guys should ask Demers for a visit of there factory and a showcase of there ambulances.

Very cool

WOW!! you should get into sales for Crestline haha, excellent video, looking forward to more

That’s a great review! Good job 👏... looks like a great bus! Love how u can adjust the temp of the box from the front!! One thing that I don’t like about it is the angle that the siren control is mounted... looks like it would be uncomfortable wether u r driving or not...

I'm no expert on it by any means, but that is one nice ambulance. Plus it's made from E-Series so 👌. On another note, I understand the utility focus, and I've also never driven one, but I think for the long durations of ambulance crew missions, the (Going from my E-Series experience) van should be XLT instead of TT/XL. It would add more comforts for the front crew of the vehicle. Regardless, I've always loved ambulances and that certain feeling of life and hope they radiate as they speed down roads blaring their sirens.

You should tell stories about your job. Anecdote of your shifts.

Welcome to canada

Great's videos and beautiful ambulance !!! Raul Brazil Emergency Driver

its 1 am and ive just watched an infomercial for an ambulace XD

I always wonder why Medix and Leader ambulances never have enough cup holders and somewhere to put our personal items. Like you guys do know we do average of 12-24 hour shift right?

Hi ! Nice review !

Nice!

I wish they would make the driver seat more comfortable by adding air to it and maybe add a little refrigerator and hot plate. These little things would make the corner posted rigs so much better.

Wow that’s interesting

Super

I would like some more information on your electrical system. Currently work for a large EMS system in NC and we are in the process of a complete redesign of ambulances. Anything we can do to cut down time and ease and simplicity of issues is great.

Saskatoon he’ll yeah!! Martensville local!

Wow, a rig from 2009, impressive.

Prep Medic, you are awesome! 13, and your channel is the best on RU-vid!

The first box unit I ever saw had no cover over the rear tire under the bench. You lift the bench and you could see the tires under it. Things sure have changed a lot in the last 40 some odd years.👆

Nothing about an ambulance is aerodynamic

16:42 -- My company has a few of these ambulances, and you can keep the backup camera on at all times, which MASSIVELY improves all-round visibility.

Hi Paramedics i like your video - life saving is for strong profesionals service with blood & pain - thank you - be cool - take care -

you skipped the most important part being the engine all that stuff is great but the engine is the heart of the entire machine

And In the Netherlands we have Sprinter 2019 :( Stupid uncomfortable Ambulances they’re just Vans... this one is a truly good ambulance!

Stop by Caronport on your way out. We don't have much to show off but we try our best

I dont fallow that close but started because i saw you were from Ames. Sorry to see your not there anymore.

Well... I am not a paramedic.. but if I was. I'd want the CCL150 Crestline Prototype Ambulance.

I noticed that the rig was missing a part which's the safety net that mounts from the ceiling to the floor on the side of the bench.

Shame we can never get anything like this in the UK, all ours are pretty much standard and at times not fit for purpose, as we are going away from box vehicles and going to van conversions. The simplicity that is incorporated into the vehicle is amazing but has, from what I can see, took staff into account and the types of incidents we go to is amazing.

Any plans for videos at your new job sam? Hope to see your new equipment

CPR harness? A lot of our units went back to The thumper style units for compression. A lot of wasted space plus shaded GLASS instead of plexiglass. The sprinters are mostly used in this area for basic transport. We also hate the Battenburg stripes, they blend in way too much with the led lights since most local companies and fire service have done away with light bars.

Top mesmo essa unidade UTI, a montadora está de parabéns pelo desempenho q estão fazendo com essas unidades UTI, aqui no Brasil seria muito bom se tivesse , trabalho nessa área de unidade móvel de UTI a 20 anos gostaria muito de conhecer essa equipe fora do Brasil, parabéns pra toda equipe de paramédico

Where's the provisions for the two way radio ? When I did radio installs, shiny brand new ambulances always lacked a way to put the radio in, running the rear control head cable then dealing with the NMO mounts in the roof. Hopefully you guys have provisions for these things.

👍👍

I've heard of Crestline, but never seen any in the US. Might be a Canadian truck body builder.

I like sire speakers to be mounted on the bumper rather behind the grill

nice looking rig. it does look kinda small. is this the only model that you did a tour of or will there be a new video soon of a different rig?

Always interesting to see how you guy’s set up your ambulances!🚑 But I wouldn’t want to change units with you! 🙈😄 I love ours here in Germany.🤷🏻‍♂️ If anybody is interested to see the general layout in our rigs I’ve found a couple of pictures online. ⬇️ Would love to see different set ups as well, so if you have some pictures feel free to link them down below.😊 EDIT forgot a question! Do you guys have a ventilator on board? I haven’t seen a dedicated place for one. www.gute-sonder-fahrzeuge.de/neuer-gsf-rtw-fur-die-rkish-in-rendsburgeckernforde/

Generally, it looks really nice. I’m just upset that manufacturers aren’t increasing cab room. It sucks to work system status and not have enough room to truly relax. Maybe system status needs to go...

Where are the radios kept in the driver compartment?

Is there space in the cab for 2-3 radio holders, and/or department radio units? Such as a speaker mic, and the dispatch radio?

Leg room for driver and Officers seat? How far back can you recline the front seats? I currently work 12 + hour shifts in a system that posts units, so no stations. Leg room and the ability to stretch out is a health and safety issue for us.

Only one large O2 cylinder? I'm used to have 2 large ones and 1 small as a reserve on ALS units (saw the other ones later in the video now; Strange to have them in the side door) The electrical cabinet seems huge, I mean really huge. Maybe ours seems smaller as a part of it is in the patient compartment and another part is behind the driver and co-driver's seats Like the dual access compartment on the right side; Don't have that at the provider I work for right now, but the one where I was trained, they had a dual access compartment there as well. CPR seat? Do they do manual CPR during the ride and don't use e.g. a Lucas? We have the IV hooks under a cover in the center roof console, with straps holding them in place; They shakre around during the ride but they are secured. One thing I really don't like which seems to be common on American ambulances: the stretcher located directly on the bottom. Imagine an uneven road and a patient with spine injuries ...

Does it have 4-wheel drive? Where do the radios and other communications gear go?

Have you seen the new ford transit ambulances? I'd be curious of your opinion on them.

As long as it’s not one of those god awful vanbulances 😂

Your Videos are Excessively Zoomed Brother. It will be more beautiful and more comfortable if it is zoomed little less. Thank You brother, it's nice and so modern.

Ok, I buy one.

Are you going to buy one and use it as your daily driver? 🙂

Was that up in the headquarters in Saskatoon ?

How did I get here but since i use to be obsessed with emergency vehicles. in 2006

29yrs as a medic & 4yrs as an EMT before that & I didn’t see anything that was earth shacking. Actually the last earth shacking thing I saw was when we went to strobe lights around 1988.

LOOKS LIKE WE HAVE A PRETTY BOY AMBULANCE WAITIN TO SIT ON A CORNER WAITIN FOR THE REST OF HIS GANG TO SHOW UP

What is the budgetary price for this rig??

Do american ambulances not have an heatet infusion compartment?

Can you give a tour of your new ambulance?

IT's always very interessing to see ambulances from other parts of the world. In the US the ambulances are normally bigger than in Europe. In Scandinavia the ambulances are normally very small compared to this one. They've got very lint distances too but small and narrow Streets. What's the weight of this ambulance when it's fully loaded?

@PrepMedic what's revolutionary about this bls transport vehicle that makes it a Prototype I feel like this was a clickbait paid advertisement. You definitely lowered your self in my books and this is my first video with you.

@prepmedic, are you Canadian?

I like our EMS buddies Frazier ambos, I prefer driving my tower-ladder.

is a Great Size after Read the Comments. I personal think an extra Height and Width Box Height Add 5 Inch and Width Add 6 to 9 Inch Or Less Outter Storage space (- 3 Inch) each size Left and Right Side create more inside Room in the Box for ambulance Worker.

I heard ..pretty standard setup quite a bit for a prototype

Where would the stair chair go?

He's cute.

This set up is what we had 20-30 years ago with out F-250 ambulances. Crestline really needs to look at how we have our Sprinters laid out in Australia. Not wanting to write an "ours are better than yours" sort of comment. Just would like to see our North American cousins work in vehicles designed by EMS staff FOR EMS staff. The ergonomics in this needs huge improvements. Many thanks for the time and effort to make and upload.

You should come to Ireland Sam and review wilker their really good leading the way in Ireland and the UK at the moment

Can you sell this ambulance to Norway??

Nice!! Whats the cost of this ambulance?
