Shortly after FDNY took over, the first batch of ambulances were white with a blue and and red stripe. I forget if these were ordered new or repainted units. IIRC this paint scheme didnt last very long and was replaced by the current scheme by 9/11

The merge/takeover occurred in 1996. I found this photo and in reading a a few sites, the NYC*EMS was removed and replaced by FD*NY

Grump, they were repainted EMS units with the red/blue striping. The present paint scheme showed up in 1997 or 98, IIRC.

Here is a generator pic with the red, blue, and white paint scheme

Made sence they were the blue,white, and orange pre FDNY since those are the colors of NYC.

Very nice! Any more photos of individual buses? I know NYC EMS used a wide variety of chassis and manufacturer combinations over the years, and I'm trying to find an example of each.
