Our newest vehicle is Rescue Squad 741. Entering service in 2011, Rescue Squad 741’s body was built in New Jersey by PL Custom/Rescue 1, one of the leading fire service vehicle suppliers in the United States. The truck body is mounted on a Spartan Gladiator LFD chassis powered by a 550 horsepower Cummins engine.
Rescue Squad 741 carries the most advanced extrication tool solution: The Amkus Ultimate hydraulic rescue system capable of powering six tools simultaneously. These high-speed spreading and cutting tools support rapid extrication of trapped patients in vehicular crash incidents. In addition to the rescue tools, the PTO powers a 30-kW hydraulic generator that delivers electricity needed for scene lighting, exhaust fans, and electric-powered tools.
This unit provides firefighting, crash response, and technical rescue equipment for up to eight firefighters.
