Summary
I have a 26 year background in fire and ems. Ironically, back when Frazer was a gas and oil field dominated industry supplier, my father worked with Frazer as the Captain over the Houstion Fire Department body shop and maintenance to order the worlds first Frazer box Ambulance. I have worked inside Frazer ambulances at Rosehill, West Harris County, West I-10, The Village, La Marque, and have an extensive knowledge of box the layout of the "frazer box" as we call it in the industry.
