Abstract

An emergency response type vehicle is provided. The vehicle comprises an operator compartment, a body supported rearward of the operator compartment and having at least one side wall, a guide structure supported at the side wall and extending substantially parallel with the side wall, and a seat assembly movably coupled to the guide structure. The seat assembly has a backrest that is substantially parallel with the side wall. The seat assembly is selectively positionable about the guide structure to provide a movable (e.g., repositionable, reconfigurable, adjustable, adaptable, etc.) seating system within the vehicle so that an attendant can access different areas of the vehicle while remaining seated and restrained in a seat assembly.
