SUFFOLK COUNTY, NY — Suffolk Fire, Rescue, and Emergency Services officials are developing a history of Emergency Medical Services in the county, according to a news release.

Officials are asking agencies to submit a photo of their original vehicles — preferably the Cadillac Style — with the year the photo was taken, if possible. They are also encouraging the agencies to submit a photo of their current ambulance with a date as well.

The idea behind the project is to showcase how EMS has changed over the years.
