Turn Back The Clock pt. 15
Suburban Ambulance Service (1985)
Bill Kleiber sent in a new set of pictures from "back in the day" when he worked for Suburban Ambulance Service. These fantastic pictures are a great representation of what Suburban was like back in the mid-80's.
Thank you, Billy!

Suburban medics unloading a patient from an ambulance in the days before one person could unload the stretcher. I wonder how many people have bad backs because of those old stretchers...

Most of these were from the "big move" of East End Hospital to MCE, I think it was January 1985.
I sure miss Ronnie !

The unknown in the 1985 Gulf Shores code team picture is Dwight Wren Sr.
He's retired from Centerpoint and Hoover Fire departments and is enjoying life.
Billy, thanks for the additional information! I bet that day was hectic.
Scott, thank you for the help with the ID. Hope you're doing great, Buddy!
I know Dennis Reno and i known Ronnie when they ran Montgomery speedway.I miss Ronnie too. Victor Davenport ex- employee
Sorry to have to correct you Dave but that is not Billy Slaughter. It is obviously Freddie Prince Sr.
The Photo of Suburban 418 looks like it was at Trussville Nursing Home and was driven David (Crash) Glass and I happen to be his partner that night....

I worked for suburban ambulance in about 1989-1991 era. I still have a few fond memories and would like to get in touch with some of the EMTs I worked with
