I wanted to read about the ambulance chase and it does not come up when I

click your link. Is this correct?

A few years back a Houston private called Unique Ambulance has one driven

off while they were unloading in SE Houston & the ambulance was

recovered.

A EMS joke that went around Houston then was.

How do you steal an ambulance? Unique up on it! I remeber

another incident when HFD left one running in the middle of Main Street

in Downtown. A homeless guy took off in the rig and crashed after HPD

tried stopping him. Now days GPS pays for itself. Back in 1993 when I was

President of Texas EMS Corporation we put GPS in our rigs the GPS made

dispatching a much easier task knowing exactly where each unit was at any

given time.

May you all have a happy new year!

This happens several times a year. I would just like to remind

everyone

of the following from the Texas Transportation Code.

§ 545.404. UNATTENDED MOTOR VEHICLE. An operator may

not leave the vehicle unattended without:

(1) stopping the engine;

(2) locking the ignition;

(3) removing the key from the ignition;

(4) setting the parking brake effectively; and

(5) if standing on a grade, turning the front wheels to

the curb or side of the highway.
