This is an ALS-IFT unit from Italy. While North America is often unilaterally aligned with ambulanc design. Europe often uses several different designs of ambualnce, as well as custom interior design, according to the specific need.

The idea is to design parameters for civil infrastructure and patient need vs a single type of vehicle and adapt equipment and usage around a universal frame.

Really interesting lay out. This specific ambulance is a temp until the custom unit with similar interior design can be deployed.

Question: can you find where the spine board is located?

Forget the commercials. What does a paramedic *actually* carry? We'll show you.

When you're responding to a call, or even just heading deep into the BC backcountry, you need gear that actually works. Our team has seen it all, and when it comes to essential tools, we rely on non-negotiables. Take a Morakniv Garberg: razor-sharp, full-tang, and tough enough to cut through seatbelts, clothing, or prep kindling no questions asked. Paired with a quality trauma dressing, which can be the difference-maker for serious bleeds whether it's a chainsaw accident in the Cowichan Valley or a trail bike crash up the Malahat. These aren't just 'good ideas'; they're what *we* carry because lives depend on them.

Ever wonder who packs the gear you trust? Meet the Medix EMS and SurvivalTech team.

We're not just selling first aid bags; we're sharing what we actually carry on calls, from the Malahat to remote wildfire zones. Every stitch and pocket in our paramedic first aid bags has been put through its paces by our crew, real paramedics and wildfire responders right here on Vancouver Island. We know what fails when it counts, and we only stock what holds up. It's the same kit we rely on ourselves when things get wild.

Follow us to meet more of the team! "

Our hearts are shattered. Another community is facing unimaginable tragedy and profound loss.
The community of Tumbler Ridge will be forever changed. Tonight, families and loved ones mourn the devastating loss of nine lives, while twenty-five others recover from injuries sustained in this horrific school shooting.

In the face of terror and chaos, emergency responders from multiple agencies worked together under unimaginable conditions to assess, treat, and evacuate victims. The men and women who ran toward danger are heroes of the highest order. To the nurses and doctors, first responders, and community members who stepped forward to provide aid — you worked tirelessly to save innocent lives. Lives that were not strangers, but friends, classmates, neighbours, family members. Your courage, compassion, and selflessness represent the very best of humanity.

The pain that has enveloped Tumbler Ridge will be felt for generations. It will not only echo through this town, but will beat in the hearts of all British Columbians and be mourned across Canada.

Tonight, we stand with you.

Please Be Advised,

Late last night, our digital systems experienced a significant attempted cybersecurity breach.
At the start of today’s shift, our administrative team identified evidence of unauthorized access attempts directed at our office systems. Based on the nature of the activity, the apparent objective was to gain access to financial systems. Our security infrastructure successfully blocked the intrusion, and we believe that only a single low-level system experienced limited exposure.

Following the discovery, all affected systems were immediately shut down and isolated. A full internal review has since identified more than 642,000 unauthorized access attempts over a two-week period. While there had been intermittent internet irregularities during that time, our service provider initially confirmed no known issues.

It is important to emphasize that no patient data or sensitive operational records were accessed or compromised. As a patient-care organization, we maintain strict data-protection protocols. All sensitive records are stored on a physically separate, offline system that has no internet connectivity and is only accessible by authorized, on-site computers. This system remains fully secure.

Out of an abundance of caution, we have temporarily shut down all email services, data feeds, and any systems potentially impacted. Additional safeguards have been implemented across all secondary systems to ensure continued protection of patient and operational data.

As a result, there may be delays in email responses and certain administrative functions until mid-next week. Some Medix divisions may also experience brief service interruptions during this period. We recognize this may be inconvenient and appreciate your patience as we prioritize data security and public trust.

To reiterate: no data was stolen, our security systems performed as intended, and immediate corrective actions were taken. We take incidents of this nature extremely seriously and will continue to act decisively to prevent any future risk.

Thank you for your understanding and patience.

Sincerely,
Medix EMS Leadership Team

Earlier this morning, Medix EMS published a commentary post regarding the current situation in the United States.

As a society, we recognize that the public holds a wide range of political views. While there may be majority opinions, there are also many differing perspectives that deserve respect and consideration.

As medical professionals, impartiality is a core principle of ethical care. Providing fair, unbiased treatment to anyone in need—regardless of background, belief, or ideology—is a foundational pillar of Medix EMS.

While individual staff members are fully entitled to hold and express personal political views in appropriate personal settings or forums where open and balanced discussion is invited, public-facing company platforms are not such forums. Social media, by its nature, presents a one-sided voice and cannot accurately reflect the diversity of views held by our team.

In this instance, our leadership did not adequately consider the range of opinions represented within our organization. As a result, the post did not align with our code of conduct or fairly represent our staff. For that reason, the post has been retracted.

Medix EMS is a collective of professionals from many communities, religions, ethnic backgrounds, identities, and ideological positions. Despite these differences, our staff are united in upholding—at the highest standard—the shared beliefs of duty of care, mutual respect, and professional integrity.

At a time when the world is increasingly divided by political discourse, Medix remains a place of respect, inclusion, and unity. Our team consciously sets aside personal differences to stand impartially, ensuring that no individual in need of care ever feels vulnerable, excluded, or unrepresented.

Our staff are encouraged to hold their own views outside of their professional duties, with the understanding that when acting as medics or paramedics for Medix EMS, they commit to caring for all individuals equally and without bias. Political beliefs belong to personal autonomy and civic participation—not to the duty of care.

The removal of the original post was not the result of political pressure, nor was it influenced by any single viewpoint. Rather, it reflects our responsibility to uphold neutrality, professionalism, and trust.

We respect our staff and their adherence to the standards we set. This moment of reflection reaffirms our commitment to remaining free of political advocacy in our public communications, ensuring that Medix EMS remains a safe, impartial, and trusted provider of care for all.

We’re very excited to announce that Medix has been hired by the Nakatomi Corporation to provide event medical coverage for their annual Christmas Party at the iconic newly built Nakatomi Plaza 🎄🏢

With the building sitting at nearly 90% complete, it’s been a long road to get here. Our Industrial Safety Medics and CSOs have been on site throughout construction, making sure work stayed safe, on time, and—most importantly—free of unexpected “action movie moments.”

Tonight’s agenda is refreshingly low-key: a late-night delivery from the reliable team at Pacific Courier, followed by a crew of cleaners ensuring the building is cleaned out and ready for occupancy by January 1st. No broken glass, no surprise visitors from overseas… just a smooth finish.

And because we believe in seeing projects through to the end and beyond, SurvivalTech, our retail division, will be overseeing ongoing medical and safety supplies through our dedicated Restock Team—helping ensure Nakatomi Plaza stays prepared for whatever the new year throws its way.

Now that’s what we call a Christmas party done right. 🎅💥

From all of our families to you and yours. Merry Christmas 🎅 🎄

Lol, yup there ARE 2 primary types or worker on site.

As safety reps on sites we see this all the time. Our job is to win over both so we can see the best outcomes for safety and project timelines.

Its tricky, but we make it work.
