TEAM TUESDAY

Ever wonder how someone ends up in the ambulance industry? For Blake Clifton, it all started with a move to Austin, Texas, to be closer to his future wife!

Originally from Odessa, Texas, Blake was preparing to start a new job as a paramedic when the owner of the ambulance service offered him a different opportunity: selling ambulances. He said yes, mostly because he needed a job in Austin. Little did he know that decision would turn into a lifelong career as a traveling salesman!

Since then, Blake has watched the company grow tremendously. From the acquisition of Northwestern Emergency Vehicles, which doubled the company's size overnight, to doubling in size again over the past three years, the journey has been nothing short of incredible.

But for Blake, it's about more than growth. It's about the amazing customers, the dedicated team behind every build, and the shared mission of “Helping Emergency Services Save Lives.”

When he's not working, you can find Blake enjoying time with his family, traveling around our great country, or hanging out at the Lake of the Ozarks!

We're proud to have Blake as origin of the ARV story and look forward to what's ahead!

Keep following along as we introduce you to the talented team behind ARV!

Congratulations to Lincoln County EMS on bringing this one home! Thank you for trusting ARV to be part of your mission.

FEATURE FRIDAY!

This gloss black beauty is loaded with features designed to make life on the road easier for EMS crews.

One standout feature? The MAC Medical blanket warmer - helping crews keep blankets warm and ready when patients need them most.

And that’s just the beginning! This truck is packed with thoughtful details, practical storage, and plenty of other features designed around the needs of today’s EMS professionals.

It’s proof that an ambulance can be functional, comfortable, and turn heads at the same time.

What feature would you want to see on your next truck?

THROWBACK THURSDAY!

This one is a great reminder of the specialized vehicles that support critical care and emergency response. The Type III platform offers a versatile layout with plenty of room for equipment, crew, and patient care — making it a proven choice for demanding EMS operations.

We’re proud to look back at builds like this and the teams who put them to work every day.

Who remembers this one?
