If this rig was a station, its nothing but the fact that 5his is a Mobile rig that amazing

Wow. Awesome capability wrapped up in that one truck. I've never seen that many rescue tools on a rig. Two hydraulic power units, four hydraulic hose reels - each with a tool, plus the electric tools. It has been a while since I was on the job, but back then it was only the big urban departments that had the heavy rescue trucks, is this getting more common in the suburbs and rural areas?

I like the surface mount/ambulance style warning light bars on the sides of the cab to give space for the light tower.

The battery operated tools are heavier because they carry their own hydraulic oil reservoir, they are handy but the are quite a bit heavier than the ‘traditional’ VX tools that use umbilical hydraulic hoses. But it’s nice to have the best of both worlds.

Years ago I went with a buddy on a body call: His family owned the local funeral home in our little country town and occasionally he'd ask me to go help him recover a body. This time a couple good ol' boys coming around the corner into town a little too fast on wet road from a recent rain, had a little too much to drink and went into the ditch, header into a concrete culvert, no seat belts. Obviously there was no hurry but we had to wait for the fire truck to get there with the jaws to cut open the car so we could get the driver out. It was apparent he died of a broken neck. For him I guess it was a good thing cause they didn't have the proper connections for this pump to those jaws or something. Eventually four of us just used a long steel pry bar to open it up enough to get him out. Other guy head butted the windshield and suffered massive facial injuries from the metal dash. Ah the good old days of metal interiors and leather/vinyl seats, no pesky seat belts to restrict one's movement.

I remember my dad telling me that my town’s ambulance squad had a ‘70s Ford F-600 walk-in rescue truck. Appearently, it had hydraulic brakes instead of air brakes. So, when the truck was at the end of its life span, the engine would cut out when they were halfway down the driveway, which they had to frantically restart the truck in order to stop.

I am retired from the fire service as an officer and the costs of these apparatus is out of hand. Property taxes and fire dues are high enough as it is. The question is, do we need that much of a rescue truck or is it that is what we want to have. I'm surprised there are not two axles on the rear to make it real heavy.... Where is the ceiling on this kind of thing. Twenty or thirty years ago we did with a lot less and still got the job done. Then the argument is we have lots more calls. Advanced life support can be done on a pumper and if you need rescue equipment, it can be loaded on a ton truck chassis. I think a million dollars can be better spent elsewhere in the department.

I don't think every station needs a Medium / heavy rescue but having them allows for less rescue equipment to be on engines in the area knowing they have a bigger rescue comming. That said I find they're "redundancy" ridiculous here. Two full sets of hydraulic tools plus a batter combi. That's taking things to far. Same with the saws. Why have 4 different chainsaws? As a station running a rescue like this I gotta say they've wasted a ton of space on repeat stuff.

I find it strange to see that this heavy rescue vehicle has just as many tools as a normal European (Dutch) fire engine, yet it costs more than three times as much, it is much bigger, and a regular dutch fire engine has much more equipment for firefighting, hazmat and water rescue. Compared to a dutch Heavy Rescue (Dutch: Hulpverleningsvoertuig / HV), our vehicles carry so much more specialised equipment, for example: truck crane, horse pants (for lifting), big tent, hydraulic rescue tools (like yours, but more), plasma cutter, a lot of different saws and cutters, stabilisation material, shoring tools for buildings, rescue platforms for high trucks, a lot of ropes and straps, hydraulic lifting equipment and a lot more, still, a truck like this costs only around 700.000 euro's.
