I just happened to see this and thought it was a pretty any chance that any of the medics here will use these:

I believe we have two of these in service at AMR. I know we have one for sure. I think Rural Metro has one as well. Their pretty cool, but of course a little heavier.

They had a demo of that automatic stretcher at the 2006 burn run... I don't think they had a demo of it this past 2007 burn run.

they look pretty good they would help with alot of strain on the medics loading patients.
