Detroit Fire Department: Heavy Rescue Squad

Built exclusively for the Detroit Fire Department by HME Ahrens-Fox, this is one-of-six units, are to be strategically stationed to serve all of Metropolitan Detroit. Built on a custom HME 1871w Chassis, these Heavy Rescues have been designed to access all of Detroit’s firehouses. In addition to its full complement of rescue and extrication equipment, the Squads will also carry the latest rescue tools, air-bottle storage systems, a heated compartment for ropes and EMS supplies and portable winch, and more. It also features a 100-GPM PTO pump, booster reel, ​and 300-gallon water tank. The interior of the 100-inch wide cab provides a bench that can be deployed to transport injured firefighters from the scene.

The idea for the injured firefighter transport is something new, and I like it, especially with Detroit’s EMS record.

Very cool to see Detroit Fire making a come back with some much needed new equipment. And Michigan built at that. Keeping money in the state.

She said “Box Alarms, Structure Fires”🤣🤣🤣

[DetroitFires]

First of all, the previous squads didn't have pumps. Second, it's "extrication, " not "extraction." Third, structure fires in Detroit are box alarms.

Shout out to whoever spent 17 seconds of preparation on this video script.

Extractions? Maybe Extrication's.

She's saying the previous apparatus were "Walk-in Rescue Pumpers" 🤔🤔🤔🤔

I've asked this question 1000 times and have gotten a 1000 different answers...What makes it a "heavy" rescue? is it weight or being able to do all aspects of rescue and have all the necessary equipment on board? what definition does NFPA define a "Heavy" rescue. Our rescue is WAY bigger then this and isn't considered a Heavy resuce

[leetakamiya]

Is she wearing safety glasses? How dangerous is it do these reports? Of course, it may be that they are really ugly glasses.

It's dumb that haft the truck is the cab of the truck. Not much storage space old rescue had more. All rescues looked better
