This one should have gone back a ways in this thread.
I'm not certain of the first use of this rig, but it could have been a heavy rescue at first; I'm not certain.
However, I do know that it served as Denver's first hazmat rig (until 1987 or so), then as the water rescue unit from 1987 until the mid-2000's.
I'm not sure of the exact year, but 1971 comes to mind, so I'll go with that, barring additional information.
