It was the first Ambulance Station after the formation of the NHS to be built since the joint Birmingham Fire and Ambulance Service served the city. On the 26th April 2014 a party was held to celebrate 60 years of service the station and staff had given to the people of Birmingham. Many serving and retired members of staff along with AHS members,shared an evening reminiscing and remembering old colleagues. Ambulance 205 and restored Paramedic Motorcycle with it&#8217;s Paramedic rider also a display of memorabilia added to the occasion. A wonderful evening gave &#8216;The Street&#8217; a fitting send off.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/ambulanceheritagesociety.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/26-4-2014-15.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\"
