Frazer
2025
F550
Aiken, SC
Built for Savannah River Site Fire Department, these custom Frazer ambulances were designed with both EMS response and fire-service functionality in mind. Each unit features a 14-foot XT module with a forward side-entry door mounted on a Ford F-550 gasoline chassis, paired with LiquidSpring suspension and an Onan 5.5kW generator. The exterior carries a bold two-tone Pierce 90 Red and Frazer White finish with fluorescent yellow/green and red rear chevrons, complemented by a comprehensive Whelen warning package, Whelen CORE system, Pioneer Plus scene lighting and a TAM85 Traffic Advisor for enhanced scene visibility.
Savannah River Site selected several specialized features around the operational needs of its crews, including SCBA storage, an electric oxygen-cylinder lift, dedicated stair-chair storage, equipment wiring for future flashlights and thermal imaging cameras, and custom exterior compartments. Inside, the patient compartment features a Cobalt Blue interior, stainless-steel countertops, yellow grab rails and Onyx flooring, along with custom cabinetry, electric oxygen controls, a Technimount LP-15 monitor mount, Knox MedVault, Valor seating and 6-point squad-bench restraints. The units also incorporate Stryker Power-LOAD Gen 2 systems, Sentinel and Evergreen UV-C disinfection equipment, and a Dometic self-contained A/C system.
The result is a highly specialized Frazer configuration built around equipment organization, crew accessibility, patient care, scene visibility and the unique demands of Savannah River Site Fire Department.
Key Features
A Type I ambulance uses a modular patient compartment mounted on a truck-style chassis. A Type II is a van-based ambulance, such as ETA's Ford Transit 350-based High Ground Conversion. A Type III uses a modular patient compartment on a cutaway van chassis. ETA offers solutions across all three categories.
ETA's remount capabilities are not limited to Frazer units; its inventory and project portfolio show remounts across different ambulance configurations. Whether a particular module can be remounted depends on its construction, condition, chassis compatibility, and specifications, so ETA should evaluate the individual unit before confirming a project.
The right answer depends on your module's condition, budget, desired configuration, timeline, and long-term fleet plan. For a suitable module, an ETA remount can offer approximately 30%-45% savings and a published turnaround of approximately 30-90 days. Departments needing an entirely new module or significantly different vehicle may be better served by a new ambulance. ETA can help compare the options before you make that decision.
