Pink Ambulance raises awareness about breast cancer

This is so cool, I gotta write about it. EMSA (Emergency Medical Services Authority), the largest ambulance service in Oklahoma, has a pink ambulance. By way of a temporary vehicle wrap, they've gone pink to raise awareness about breast cancer in Oklahoma City and Tulsa.

Aside from the fact that in a previous life I worked as their PIO and absolutely think paramedics and EMTs walk on water, EMSA has taken my mother to the Heart Hospital in Oklahoma City more times than I can count. They have saved her life a few times, and they saved my dad's life twice. Before it's over, I'm sure they'll have saved most of us at least once.

I shared the organization's post of the pink ambulance on Facebook and my brother (saved by paramedics 25 years ago last week after a horrific motorcycle crash) commented that? where he lives in Los Angeles he's never seen a pink ambulance. He did say he thought they had a pink one in West Hollyweird, though. Hahaha!!

The pink ambulance first appeared in Tulsa as part of the Turn Tulsa Pink movement. This is really cool! Tulsa was the first city in the international ?Cares Enough to Wear Pink? movement to have all three types of public service vehicles ? police, fire and ambulance ? go pink. I'm a big fan of Tulsa, and love it when they get to lay claim to something before the rest of the world.

The Care Enough to Wear Pink is a campaign of the International Firefighters Association.
