In March of 2015 Rescue 30 was severely damaged while blocking a motor vehicle accident on the Hutchinson River Parkway. The Rescue was sent back to Seagrave's factory in Wisconsin due to the extent of the damage. Below are some photos of the redesigned body currently in production.

Who cares what he was doing. He was distracted and obviously didn't see a huge red fire truck with flashing lights on it Having the rig protecting the scene basically saved the brothers. This is why using the rig to block the scene is key. Rigs are replaceable the brothers aren't

Amen to that brother.

Was the chassis salvageable?
