The Bethesda-Chevy Chase Rescue Squad maintains an apparatus refresh program to ensure we remain up-to-date with high-quality vehicles. Rescue Squad 741B served as our front-line heavy rescue squad unit until the arrival of our latest acquisition. Our Bravo rescue squad is a 2002 Spartan Gladiator Rescue chassis supporting a Saulsbury Stainless Steel 21′ body.
The Bravo rescue squad hosts two electric generators, a 45 kW PTO generator and a 20 kW diesel backup. The electric system powers a comprehensive Amkus HRT extrication toolset including four pre-connected tools. For greater flexibility, extrication tools — including the jaws of life — are mounted on both sides of the rescue squad.
This unit provides firefighting, crash response, and technical rescue equipment for up to nine firefighters.
