This special Firehouse supplement, includes three feature stories:
Heavy Rescue, Heavy Analysis: Determining the body configuration for a heavy rescue requires diligent scrutiny of a department’s response area, the duties that are associated with that area and the tools that enable those duties to be accomplished.
It's More Than Just Size: Defaulting to ‘bigger is always better’—and omitting consideration concerning a single-axle construction or tandem-axle setup—can cause problems for heavy rescue apparatus committees.
The Ultimate Toolbox: Apparatus manufacturers seem as enthusiastic as heavy rescue companies are when it comes to innovative shelves and mounting mechanisms for storing equipment in their vehicles.
