The final piece for the Rescue Squad is the support unit. It carries all of the technical tools and equipment.

hmmm kinda reminds me of Syracuse Fire Dept's resuce aeriel and maybe fyreline can correct me if im wrong but that was a 135' straight stick.



MS Paint Anyone! Fire Apparatus Part III - Guest - 04-10-2013

Well, that's exactly where the idea came from! If I remember correctly,the SFD's was a 135'. I saw it many times so I'm almost certain that is correct. Loved that rig. I personally have only seen two other aerials designed with rescue in mind, but I'm sure there must be more out there. Both are in Florida, one at Disney, an E\-One. I believe it was all wheel drive and designed for rescue work on the Monorail system that runs through the area. The other was in Fort Lauderdale and is/was operated by the Broward Sheriff's Office with the Technical Rescue Team. Somewhere I have a picture of it when I came across the team performing a drill.

I had to go and look them up. The SFD's was a 1984 E\-One Hurricane 0/0/135' RMA and the one from Disney (actually Reedy Creek) is a 1990 E\-One AWD 250/200/65' RMA and is listed as Monorail Rescue Unit.

Besides the connections mentioned, I see some SOMERVILLE, NJ in those rigs also... Jersey Blue... Mack E-1, Hahn E-3... and the FDNY 95 ft tower.... Nice work with Ryan and Tyler.

Firemark,

 

Which program did you use for the lettering? Also what font and style? The shadowed lettering looks great.
