Heavy Rescue Rigs - MattW - 03-20-2018

I looked and didn't see a thread for these, so I thought I'd start one with some of the ones I've shot.

First up, is former IFD Tac 1 a1981 International-S/Hackney/IFD Shop built Confined Space/Collapse Rescue.[attachment=4]

'72 Ford C-750/Gerstenslager 100GPM pump. This was a photo I got off ebay several years ago. No idea who took the shot, as there was no info on the back.


RE: Heavy Rescue Rigs - MattW - 03-23-2018

I forget where I got this shot, but I'm only posting it because it shows the pump panel that the 3 IFD Ford/Gerstenslager's

This was another slide I got of ebay several years ago. Fmr IFD Rescue 17 '72 Ford C-750/Gerstenslager 100gpm pump. This was later assigned to Rescue 29 in '76. Sadly, it was destroyed in a collision when the driver tried to beat a freight train resulting in a LODD in the early '80s. Again, I don't know who took the original shot.


RE: Heavy Rescue Rigs - MattW - 03-23-2018

Fmr IFD Rescue 14 '72 Ford C-750/Gerstenslager 100gpm pump. Yet another ebay photo I won. Again, I don't know who took the original shot


RE: Heavy Rescue Rigs - MattW - 03-23-2018

Former IFD Tac 13. I was never able to get any info on the body builder, or the year.


RE: Heavy Rescue Rigs - MattW - 03-23-2018

Former IFD Tac 14, '94 GMC/Utilimaster. This was used mostly as a Dive Rescue rig.


RE: Heavy Rescue Rigs - MattW - 03-23-2018

Former Washington Twp HazMat 221, then IFD HM 21, now IFD MIRV (Major Incident Response Vehicle) 34. I have no specs other than an IH/Hackney. This is use for MCI responses as well as for rehab on major incidents along with the Indianapolis Fire Buff's RSU's.


RE: Heavy Rescue Rigs - MattW - 03-23-2018

While technically not a heavy rescue, it is an HR style body. Former TSU 10 '99 Freightliner FL-70/General. One of 2. The other was assigned to TSU 18. Both have since been replaced.

This is what replaced the GMC/Utilimaster. New Tac 14 is an '07 Ferrara Inferno Heavy Rescue that is set up for  dive/extrication/rope/high angle rescue.
