The '''Ambulance''' is an emergency vehicle that has appeared in every game in the series, except [[Grand Theft Auto 2]], where it is known as the [[Medicar]]. Ambulances are usually found near hospitals and, in [[Grand Theft Auto III]]-era games, can be used to start the paramedic sub-mission. | The '''Ambulance''' is an emergency vehicle that has appeared in every game in the series, except [[Grand Theft Auto 2]], where it is known as the [[Medicar]].

The vehicle invariably features red and white lights and sirens and a matching paint scheme. Throughout the series the siren sound has varied slightly, as has the design of the vehicle itself. If the player decides to go on a killing spree and many [[Pedestrians]] are killed, an ambulance will arrive and two paramedics will get out and attempt to revive the wounded. Typically if paramedics are killed it creates more police attention than other civilians | The vehicle invariably features red and white lights and sirens and a matching paint scheme.

Handling-wise, the Ambulance is fairly fast for its class and has decent brakes, but is very top heavy and unstable, making it prone to rolling over under rough cornering. The ambulance chassis appears to be a modified version of that used for the [[Enforcer]], but is shorter, has different markings, and differently colored lights. Furthermore, the sound of the siren on each vehicle is distinct. | |||
In [[Grand Theft Auto IV]], the player can dial 911 to summon a [[Brute]] Ambulance, from which the player can replenish their health for a price, or steal to regain some, but not all, of their health. | In all [[GTA III era]] games, the player receives 20 points of health upon entering an Ambulance. The GTA III era Ambulances are based on various generations of the Ford E-series chassis, mainly the third and fourth generations. In [[Grand Theft Auto IV]], the player can dial 911 to summon a [[Brute]] Ambulance, from which the player can replenish their health for a price, or steal to regain some, but not all, of their health. Although the Ambulance sports a "Brute" badge on the front, it is clearly a modified version of the Declasse [[Burrito]]. | ||
