Nice looking rig... what type of equipiment is it going to carry / and for what purpose?

Good luck with it.

[Guest voeltz 234]

its basicly a mini rescue, it's going to carry almost everything a rescue would but no water

Why the utility designation? It looks like you have enough room...why not go for the Rescue designation? Whats it missing?

It is a multi-purpose vehicle. You have to be careful when you designate a vehicle as a rescue. I dont believe we will be carrying the necessary amount of equipment to call it a rescue unless the powers to be decide to do so.

We have a rescue pumper that carrries a sizeable compliment of rescue equipment.

If there is already rescue equpment on one rig, what was the purpose of obtaining this apparatus?

[WCDES-FTA 6]

HFD- It's coming along nice. Did you guys go for the light tower?

Here is the link for the Westchester DES apparatus definitions: Westchester DES From the photos, I see spare bottle racks, a reel of wire (assuming on board generator), and some equipment brackets (pike poles in rear compartment?) Also noticed roll down covers to provide shade on a sunny day for a rehab area. Looks like plenty of room for things like tarps/tools/bottled water/etc , am I missing anything?

First as a back up. Also, when I was involved in the spec process as a chief my thought process was to get rid of two vehicles that were aging and get something that would replace both vehicles. I also wanted it to be a FAST vehicle and have members of my department take the FAST training so we wouldn't have to tie up our main rescue/pumper. I am not sure what the plans now being I am a grunt.

Being a grunt is pretty cool

[Guest voeltz 234]

yes, we got the light tower

[Reliance 29]

yes, we got the light tower

Very nice unit - It looks different with only three compartments on the sides where as the regular ones have four or more. Can't wait to see it finished and find a way to ship it to Nova Scotia
