Heavy Rescue Equipment

[jim kay]

Good morning Sir... Figured by now someone would have posted, since not yet I will ask.. Is this your dept's first Heavy Rescue. have you utilized some other type of apparatus to carry perform special services tasks.. A list would be nice to see what other dept's carry, but a lot of those are large city depts. and may carry more equipment than what a smaller community may need, look at size of vehicle your specing  and determine what your needs in equipment may be for what actions you perform most.. Whether you have a heavy fire response, Vehicle extrications, Tech rescue ( confined space,rope rescue, haz Mat etc ) and do other dept's nearby offer some of these already and could you utilize there services while your dept focuses on another aspect of special services to offer to other dept's.. Good Luck with your new apparatus
