2019 Fall Show Calendar
It’s show time! We get asked regularly where we’re going to be next and how might I, a prospective customer or long time fan, get a glimpse at the latest and greatest. Well, here’s what’s happening over the next few weeks. The Big Easy It’s not too late to shake off the effects of Bourbon Street and head over to the New Orleans Convention Center to catch the 2019 EMS World Expo. The exhibit hall opens for exploring at 11:00 AM this morning and runs through 4:30 this afternoon. Tomorrow’s hours are from 10:00 AM to 1:00 PM. You can meet with Adam Fischer, our VP of Strategic Sales, Territory Manager, Erika Fullick, or Sales Supervisor, Kasey Gillum to get the lowdown on what’s happening now and what’s upcoming for 2020. Our friends at Marble Falls Area EMS graciously let us display their unit at this show and you can find it at booth #901, just left of the front entrance in between the Stryker and Zoll exhibit spaces. Come on by and see us, and make sure you get Adam to agree to meet you out later at the Cat’s Meow to hear him sing some karaoke. He totally loves that. Eat a Peach If you’re located on the Southeast coast or happen to be in the Gainsville, Georgia area in early November, Territory Manager, Erika Fullick will be on hand to answer all your Frazer questions. The 2019 Region 2 RTAC Trauma Symposium takes place at the Ramsey Convention Center, located at Lanier Technical College, 2535 Lanier Tech Drive, Gainesville, GA 3050. We’re still awaiting details on what unit might be available at this event, but we do know the exhibit hall opens at 7:50 AM and runs to 4:30 PM on Friday, November 1st. This marks our first trip to this show so we hope you’re able to stop by and see us if you’re in the area. Get Your Boots On!

Super Secret Demo to Debut at Texas EMS Conference
If you felt that 48 hours of “chill” in the air here in Houston, that can only mean one thing, the Texas EMS Conference is right around the corner! This year’s conference is back in Fort Worth and runs Nov. 24-27. And as usual, Frazer will be there with bells on! And an excellent new demo unit! Super Secret Demo on the Way! In addition to the general festivities, excellent CE offerings, annual awards, and more, Frazer will be unveiling a brand new demo vehicle sure to get your attention. VP of Sales and Marketing, Adam Fischer, put this unit together and loaded it up with tons of features our customers have been asking for. Here’s just a sampling of the many cool options you’ll find if you stop by: This 14’ Frazer EMS Module pretty much has it all. Of course you get all the other standard features we build into every new unit like: And if you have some other options you might want to add to it, you know assuming it’s pretty much almost the perfect truck for your service, we have the capability to add stuff on. Come Visit Our Booth! But what about all that super secret stuff? Well, we’re going to debut a first of its kind for Frazer that has the potential to change the game in terms of how you operate your vehicle. And while it definitely represents something of a prototype for us, we believe this is going to be a great first step into a realm we’ve been researching for a number of years. If you’re a current customer, you know Frazer isn’t going to release a feature if we don’t believe it has the potential to improve your experience or move the needle in terms of performance. We take your feedback seriously and would absolutely be unable to grow without it. And we definitely do our homework before considering working with a particular product or approach to ensure continued quality. So we’re super excited to roll out this demo and can’t wait to get your input. And if you’re more interested in our tried and true configurations, we’ll have an assortment of recently completed vehicles on display. We’re busy making all the final arrangements for the show and will keep you posted as we get closer to go time with details on where to find us in the exhibit hall and any events we’ll be hosting. If you need further information about the conference, please click here. If you’re new to Frazer and would like to get up to speed on our offerings or won’t be attending the show, you can click here for more info.

Ambulance Remounts – A Discussion
As Shakespeare once wrote, to remount, or not to remount, that is the question. Actually his version was far more existential, but the question still stands for many EMS and Fire services. The answer, as it is for so many other questions is, it depends. Which One Are You?! Generally speaking, people fall into one of three camps regarding remounts. Why So Negative? We know why so many departments shy away from remounting. Decision makers have been burned over the years by shoddy workmanship, ridiculous delivery times, questionable sales tactics, and more. Experiences like that would make it difficult for anyone to get super excited about the possibility of adding remounts to an overall fleet strategy. But it doesn’t have to be that way. Let’s look at some of the arguments FOR remounting. Moneyball First and foremost among the elements to consider is budget. Many Frazer customers have saved meaningful dollars over the year as a result of a consistent remount program. Dollars spent on the chassis will be identical for a new or remounted module. Depending on the age and condition of your existing module, a remounted module can run as little as half the cost of a new module. Plus, at Frazer, our remounts travel down the same production line as our new units, so you get craftsmanship from experienced installers who know the module construction inside and out. We have been remounting our own Frazer modules for over 30 years, so we definitely know what we’re doing. Our design approach makes this particularly easy as the separate source of power means we don’t have to disentangle the module from the chassis and then redo that process. And unless there’s been some sort of serious damage to the module, our tough, durable materials last for years. It’s Green! That durability also means you get to reuse the vast majority of the components on your module. There’s nothing greener than reusing something that’s perfectly good! And when we’re done it’s virtually impossible to tell a remount from a new unit. There are always some tell-tale signs, but you really have to know what you’re looking for. In fact, we’ve had potential customers find themselves shocked upon finding out a vehicle they thought was brand new was actually a remounted module built 5 to 10 years ago or more. While many departments have found themselves dissatisfied with a remount that just perpetuates the problems they were already experiencing, Frazer customers get the same reliability and performance they were already enjoying. And for less money. We also see numerous municipalites take the old chassis and repurpose it for use in a department that may have a specific need for a solid chassis that may simply be high mileage. But What About All The New Stuff? From time to time improved components become available and lots of our customers will invest in upgrading those during the remount process (think strobes to LEDs, or new cot systems). However, if the rest of your rig just needs a little cosmetic TLC, there’s absolutely no reason to not continue using a perfectly good, well constructed module through another purchase cycle. We’ve worked out the engineering to incorporate all the cool new stuff. It’s just a matter of pricing. So Yeah, It Depends Maybe your department operates in a community with sufficient resources that allow for buying new through every purchase cycle. We have plenty of customers where that’s the case. If so, it’s quite likely that trading in or selling your used vehicle is the preferred course of action. If, however, your budgets are a little tighter and you’re trying to maximize every dollar, we can confidently recommend the remount process as an excellent tool at your disposal. If you’re sort of on the fence about the whole process and want to get some more information, please call one of our Sales Team at 888-372-9371. They can walk you through the steps and get you in contact with many of our existing customers who have taken advantage of remounts over the years. Or you can click here to read more.
Thank You for your Frazer Orders! – Week of October 11
Thank you College Station Fire Department, Fayette County EMS, and Graham/Young County EMS for your Frazer orders!
Ambulance Graphics Are Neato!
Sure, you’ve done all the hard stuff, figured out all the cool (and necessary) things you need for your new ambulance. But everyone knows that designing your graphics and color scheme is the best part of the build process. Let’s take a look at what goes into making your unit sing. Thank You, Technology! One upon a time you were pretty much limited to a few different typefaces or fonts and a handful of colors to choose from. Anything beyond a simple beltline stripe usually had to be painted, and even then the ability to work out precise masking for special designs was laborious. Omaha Orange and Highway Gothic C, how exciting! Thanks to the advent of desktop computing and automation, a new breed of software programs and plotting cutters opened the doors to more imaginative design. Frazer started handling graphics in-house about 15 years ago as a way to provide our customers a turnkey product. Plus we knew if we were in charge of the process it would be handled with the same care and quality as the overall vehicle. Moving On Up A few years in to our graphical journey, we added a printer to our arsenal and allowing our customers to do things with graphics they hadn’t had the chance to in the past. And if you’ve noticed the changes in graphics packages over time, you’ll see the effect increased capabilities have in unlocking imagination. We’re currently working with some companies that have advanced printing capabilities as well as looking into some new equipment that will let us take advantage of those things in-house. Nothing But Professional Graphics If you choose to have Frazer complete the graphics on your new rig, rest assured you will be getting advanced professional materials. We use 3M 680 reflective roll material for beltline striping, and we use the same 680 reflective sheet material for all of our cut graphics. And it comes with a 5 year warranty! We also have access to a wide variety of non-reflective sheeting for any custom designs you might want. Many of our customers utilize 3M Diamond Grade consipcuity sheeting on the rear wall of their modules. We offer that upgrade in a number of different color combinations to maintain consistency with the rest of your design. Our thermal printer/cutter is perfect for custom stars of life, department shields, station logos, and more. Teamwork 10 year Frazer veteran, Darren Mayo, can take almost any image you want and convert it into a printable version suitable for your vehicle. And, as he likes to note, we always put it on Sticky Side Down. Melissa Boyce has been with us for over a year and will be the point person to work with if you’re looking for some ideas on how to update your look. She has been in the graphic design industry for many years and does a great job taking your ideas from imagination to reality. Once completed, if you want the design files, no problem, and no charge. We understand that many of our customers like to work with graphics pros in their area and we’re happy to help. Before you contract with someone, it’s a good idea to find out if they’ll give you your files or if you’ll have to pay to get them. Our experienced team of in-house installers, led by 14 year vet Elton D’Agrella, will apply the completed graphics with care and quality. They know that’s the first thing you’ll see on delivery day and they do not want to disappoint. Interested in finding out more about our graphics services? Feel free to give Melissa Boyce a call at 888-372-9371. Or click here for more info.
Air Conditioning in Your Ambulance – A Discussion
Air conditioning is essential to a safe environment for you and especially your patients. Along with fancy electrical systems, ambulance air conditioning usually sounds great during the sales pitch, but frequently doesn’t perform as advertised. Here’s how you can avoid “drip air.” Automotive vs. Self-Contained Applications The mechanical process of air conditioning works the same for self-contained and automotive applications. But the similarities pretty much end there. Automotive Air Conditioning The AC in your car or truck is sized to try and cool an area that can easily reach temperatures over 150 degrees on a hot and humid summer day. There’s a reason why we don’t leave kids and pets in hot cars; cars and trucks basically become hot houses in a very short span of time. Cooling a small passenger space down quickly from temperatures that extreme is a priority for the driver and occupants, and most vehicles can handle that job sufficiently. But that cooling capacity comes at a cost. Per the U.S. Department of Energy: Running your car’s air conditioning is the main contributor to reduced fuel economy in hot weather. Its effect depends on a number of factors, such as the outside temperature, humidity, and intensity of the sun. Under very hot conditions, AC use can reduce a conventional vehicle’s fuel economy by more than 25%, particularly on short trips.[1,2,3] The AC’s effect on hybrids, plug-in hybrids, and electric vehicles (EVs) can be even larger on a percentage basis.[2] U.S Department of Energy – Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy If it feels like your ambulance is burning through fuel at a higher than normal rate during the summer, that’s because it is. An Ambulance is Not a Car It’s MUCH bigger! Automotive AC relies on the engine and electrical system of the vehicle to provide all required power. A conventional ambulance takes that same system, adds the massive volume of a patient compartment to the equation, and expects everything to stay cool. Since many ambulance manufacturers add an additional condensing unit to the system in an attempt to cool a much larger space, the power requirements and resulting fuel consumption start to rapidly increase. These automotive-based systems also rely upon a large amount of air to blow over the condenser as the truck moves down the road. If you have to keep your unit at high idle to provide power for the module, the extra heat generated underneath the hood impacts the AC system as well. Bottom line, it is an expensive, power hungry, inefficient, and ineffective alternative the industry has lived with for decades. The Frazer A/C Solution If you have an 1800 square foot house in the South, you generally have 3 ton air conditioner. Frazer provides a 1 ¼ ton AC for your 112 square foot patient module. That’s enough to cool a 900 square foot apartment in Houston! You win! Our air conditioner runs off 120V provided by our on-board or under hood generator. Oh, and the drivers get that truck AC all to themselves. A massive 518CFM fan cools the condenser. Humidity is extracted from the air and pours out in buckets. You set your thermostat to a comfortable temperature and forget it. Recirculated air quickly cools the interior, and recovery time from working at a scene is fast. Forward facing supply vents put the air onto the things that matter — you and your patient. When you’re done with a call, plug in at the station for year round temperature control. It works just like it would at home – set the thermostat and walk away. You’ll come back to an already cooled (or heated) module. Idling on scene (or even turning off your vehicle with the Onan application) will have no impact on the cooling capacity of a self-contained AC unit. The Numbers That Matter Delta. Like the Airline, But Different. Our self-contained units produce a 34 degree differential from outside to inside air temperature. On a hot and humid 104 degree day, that means it will be a cool and comfortable 70 degrees inside our modules. That 34 degree number, sometimes referred to as the delta, is a critical one. Of course that’s with the doors closed. What happens if someone leaves the doors open? Glad you asked! Our air conditioner can maintain a consistent 22 degree delta even with the doors wide open. Recovery Time Since you have no idea how long you’ll end up on scene, or how long someone might leave the doors open in the patient compartment, recovery time matters. And once again, the massive airflow and cooling capacity of our self contained AC system sets us apart. After the doors were closed, recovery time was 5 minutes. No “drip air” here. So we get your module cold. We keep your module cool on scene. And when you’re ready to go we’re ready to get it cold again. Warranty Our self-contained units feature our legendary 4 year warranty. Most automotive systems come with 3 yr/36,000 mile coverage. You’re likely to blow through 36,000 miles in 12-18 months at most services so forget the three years. Also, if there is an issue to contend with, troubleshooting is far easier on a self-contained unit. And, if necessary, our whole AC can be completely swapped out in about 45 minutes. Try that with a truck-based system. A Little History We did automotive based AC long ago in our oilfield equipment because that’s what our customers knew. When big 120V generators became available they wanted 120V air conditioners. It was an amazing change in efficiency and reliability! It’s been almost 40 years since Frazer first prototyped the self-contained air conditioning system in our EMS vehicles and close to 50 since the first time we used it in our oilfield equipment. So we’ve known almost a half century that automotive AC doesn’t provide the performance our customers have grown to expect from our products. That is what we want to do for you. Please let us
Ambulance Options: Gas vs. Diesel
Coke or Pepsi? Coke. Tea or Coffee? Coffee, duh. Whataburger or In-N-Out? Whataburger. Not close. Gas or diesel? Well, that depends… All of those other choices have clear, totally objective answers. But when it comes to picking the fuel type for your new ambulance, there are a few other considerations beyond just taste. Please note, this particular post covers offerings from Ford, Chevy and Ram, as they are they only ones offering both diesel and gasoline options on ambulance prep package models. What Vehicle Do Our Customers Choose? By more than a two to one margin, Frazer customers opt for diesel power for their EMS vehicles. The splits are roughly 70% diesel to 30% gasoline. Drilling down further, for those choosing diesel, Ram leads the way by nearly 2 to 1. According to the Ambulance Manufacturer’s Division (AMD) of the National Truck Equipment Association (NTEA), those numbers flip around to Ford at a 2 to 1 pace nationwide. Diesel Options Ram, Ford, and Chevrolet all offer diesel options powerful enough to make Tim Allen happy. However, from a pure performance perspective, Ram carries the day with a whopping 1000 ft. – lb. of torque from their new Inline 6 cylinder Cummins engine. Here’s a handy chart for your viewing pleasure. Diesel Options Ford Ram Chevy Name Ford PowerStroke Cummins Duramax L5P HP 450 HP 400 HP 445 HP Torque 935 lb. – ft. 1000 lb. – ft. 910 lb. – ft. Compression 16.2:1 16.2:1 16.0:1 Displacement 409 cu. in. – 6.7L 408 cu. in. – 6.7L 403 cu. in. – 6.6L Configuration V8 Inline 6 cylinder V8 Gasoline Options It’s been a long time coming, but the Big 3 manufacturers all have a gasoline option available that works for Type I vehicles. (* Note – Type 3 cutaways ONLY come in gasoline configurations.) Since the mid-1980s, the Chevrolet C3500 has been the Houston Fire Department’s platform of choice. Consequently, Frazer has decades of experience in this area. While the power ratings don’t match up to those of the diesel engines, there are a number of factors that still make these trucks an attractive option under the right circumstances. Here’s another nice chart. Gasoline Options Ford Ram Chevy Name FlexFuel V8 Hemi V8 6.6L V8 HP 430 HP 370 HP 401 HP Torque 475 lb. – ft. 429 lb. – ft. 464 lb. – ft. Compression 9.8:1 10:1 10.8:1 Displacement 445 cu. in. – 7.3L 392 cu. in. – 6.4L 403 cu. in. – 6.6L Configuration V8 V8 V8 A Little Vehicle History In the mid-1980s, when Frazer began building for the EMS industry, we were virtually alone among builders in using a gasoline chassis. However, our separate power source, provided by the Onan generator, made it possible to still use the Chevy 3500 without the overheating, air conditioning, and electrical problems others faced when running all the power off the chassis. Technological advances have mitigated the overheating issues to the point where the Big 3 now offer an ambulance prep package on all models, diesel or gas, but we still know the separate source of module power matters no matter what platform you choose. Pros and Cons So how does one choose from among such a wide array of options? Let’s look at some things to consider: Diesel Pros Diesel Cons Gasoline Pros Gasoline Cons Phone A Friend Frazer will build you a new or remounted EMS vehicle on whatever platform you prefer. Our main concern is that you’re happy with your new rig. If you’re considering a change to a different chassis or fuel type or both, please give our Sales Team a call at 888-372-9371 for a list of referrals.

Notes on 9/11
It was about 8:00 AM in Houston when I first realized there may be something bad happening in New York. Contributors to a financial website I followed were chatting about some sort of explosion at the north tower of the World Trade Center. The source of the blast was unknown at that point. I walked back to the customer waiting room in our service center to find any news coverage on the television. Pete Morin, at the time the Director of West Harris County EMS, was also there. We watched the unfolding horror in silence. I was sick to my stomach. Much of the rest of the day was a blur, but I do vividly remember being at home later, holding my daughter, one year old at the time, watching the news, and wondering just how bad things might actually get. As the shock gave way to sadness, it became unrelentingly evident. Plenty of people and sites have compiled timelines of the events. There are, no doubt, numerous posts in your social media feeds with links to news footage or audio of Flight 93 and the extraordinary acts of courage carried out by those passengers, so there’s no reason to try and recap all of that here. When I visited the Memorial and Museum earlier this year most of those memories came flooding back. It is a somber and poignant reminder of not only the destruction and horror, but also of the collective heroism carried out by people in all walks of life, some clinging to survival, some risking all so that others might survive. First and foremost among those were the first responders of FDNY, NYPD, and the surrounding agencies that rushed headlong into an apocalyptic disaster with virtually no idea what was going on. We cannot ever completely express our appreciation and gratitude for the work that you, our friends and family in the first responder community do every day to protect and serve your own communities. We certainly never take it for granted. Without you, many among us would be utterly lost in times of crisis. Thank you.

Top Ambulance Procurement FAQs
Ambulance procurement can be challenging for even the most seasoned administrator. The following FAQs will help as you prepare for your next EMS vehicle. From financing to grants to cooperative purchasing requirements, Frazer has the answers you need. Cooperative Purchasing or Competitive Bid? Bid requirements vary greatly from state to state, and even among regional or local authorities. In Texas, for example, most items over $50,000.00 must meet state bid requirements. In Louisiana, however, that figure drops $25,000.00, and in other states the rules may only apply to construction projects. A quick web search for your home state’s municipal buying requirements should provide the relevant information. Cooperative Purchasing (Yes! We’re on HGAC and BuyBoard!) Cooperative purchasing can be as simple as partnering with another municipality working on a competitive bid and buying your own vehicle with the same set of specs. Or, numerous government procurement services around the country allow for the same thing without the hassle or outcome uncertainty associated with the bid process. These entities improve the process for end users by reducing the administrative and advertising fees for a competitive bid and by opening up the number of available products. They are designed to meet most state and local purchasing rules. A vast majority of our customers have found this a huge improvement to the normal ambulance procurement process. Cooperative purchasing entities like Houston based, HGAC, evaluate products either through “competitive bid (IFB) or competitive proposal (RFP) process.” They offer the end user the pricing power of a national group of buyers as well as a thorough vetting of accepted vendors. As with competitive bidding, rules will vary per location, but most states have some form of cooperative purchasing statute. Click here to see how your state handles cooperative buying. Frazer is an authorized vendor through HGAC. We also work with BuyBoard, a purchasing cooperative run by the Texas School Board. Our EMS vehicles are available for purchase on both of these sites. Many of our customers have found cooperative buying a major improvement in the ambulance procurement process. It allows them to meet state requirements while ensuring they don’t end up with an unwanted vehicle. Call one of our sales team at 888-372-9371 to find out more. The Bid Process Here is a list of just some of the tasks you’ll confront when conducting a public competitive bid. Click here to see the current Texas statute defining purchasing requirements. Write your own vehicle specs Review specs with committee Advertise time and place of bid once a week for at least two weeks prior to award date Pre-bid conference Respond to any bid questions Evaluate bids Award bid Verify product received meets specs The municipal bid process requires a significant amount of time and administrative effort. And while it can be very effective when vendors are offering apples to apples products, i.e. multiple Ford dealers bidding on an F-150 truck, things get a lot trickier as the specifications get more complicated. Ambulance and fire apparatus are notoriously complex, and the differences in specifications, construction methods, and quality among builders are vast. Adding to the mix are purchasing agents or local attorneys who may not have experience with the product in question. Their involvement in the process may lead to unexpected buying outcomes. Award Requirements The award process is usually where things get more complicated. In Texas, for example, many people think a bid must be awarded to the lowest priced bid. This is actually inaccurate. Per Local Government Code 252.043: (a) If the competitive sealed bidding requirement applies to the contract for goods or services, the contract must be awarded to the lowest responsible bidder or to the bidder who provides goods or services at the best value for the municipality. Texas Local Government Code Chapter 252 252.043 (b) goes on to define the ways you may evaluate “best value” as it pertains to your locale. These include things like “quality”, “reputation”, and “bidder’s past relationship with the municipality” to name a few. If you are considering running a competitive bid, it’s a good idea to make sure everyone on the decision team is on the same page when it comes time to award the bid. You should also consider familiarizing yourself with your own state requirements at the outset. Do You Know of Available Grants? Many of our customers have had success going the grant route, but it definitely takes time and effort to make that happen. There are some great resources on the web to help start you down that path. There are numerous grants available to help absorb some of the rising costs affecting critical equipment procurement. Federal, state, and private agencies offer financial assistance for items ranging from small equipment and accessories all the way up to facilities. EMSGrantshelp.com, FireGrantshelp.com, and Grantfinder.com can help you determine what items have grant money available or even help write the grant. Click here to see a more comprehensive article detailing some of the things you’ll want to consider before starting the process. You can also call us at 888-832-9371 and ask for Herb Brady. Herb spent over 35 years in both Fire and EMS and has personal experience with the grant process. He’s an excellent resource and can help point you in the right direction. What Are My Financing Options? Frazer has typically seen equipment financing handled by either a bank local to the customer, or by one of numerous regional or national lenders, such as Leasing2 or Texas Capital, specializing in municipal fleet leasing or replacement programs. The financing approach you’ll choose depends largely on what’s available to you, terms offered or comfort with the lender, and governance approval. Whatever the case, Frazer works directly with the lending institution to provide the invoice, MSO, delivery information, etc. to help streamline the process for our customers. At funding, the lender will either: Wire the payment funds directly to the dealer, who will release funds to us upon your acceptance of the vehicle Deposit funds in
