This & That from Here & There

Way back in 1972, Hurst Performance Products began to produce the "Jaws of Life" extrication tools.  To promote this device, they marketed a small response vehicle that was equipped with the Jaws set, air splints, trauma dressings, a spine board, resuscitator/inhalator, and a firefighting package with 25 gallons of light water and a Purple K Powder extinguisher.  All this was packed into an AMC Gremlin.  Somewhere between 5 and 12 of these little extrication units were built and this is reported to be the ONLY survivor still in service.
