We currently have a set of hydraulics on our rescue with a built in reel.

We had a portable set on the Engine Tank that went to Oklahoma, that set is now on our Tanker.

When the replacement ET comes, it will have built in hydraulic reels also with a brand new set of hydraulics. The new truck is going to be a Rescue-Pumper-Tanker.

So, eventually we are going to have 3 sets of hydraulics rolling out of 1 station...

The older set (the portable) is Lukus, the newer sets are Amkus. The two are pretty much the same tools and are interchangeable.

we converted a high top ambulance and turned it into our rescue van. we do not have jaws yet but we have a recip saw that works great. we carry all of our medical supplies such as trauma bags, oxygen, backboards and the such. we also keep an SCBA in there along with the IC equipment and water rescue gear.

Our rescue has a set of Hurst Transformer spreaders, a Hurst cutter, and a Combi tool. The main pump is a gas one with an electric pump as backup. We also have a couple saws, some assorted basic medical stuff, and misc. rescue equipment. We'll throw a couple of airpacks on it, but it's mostly used for extrications and medical assists and normally only goes to fires if we need extra scene lighting.

We run a "Medium Duty" rescue with a 14' Walk-In Box on a F-Super Duty Chassis.

It carries all the "standard" rescue stuff.

As far as Jaws we have (All Holmatro):
Truck Mounted "Simo" Pump connected to 2 100' Reels.
- Combi-Tool preconnected to one and O-Cutter on the other.
Portable "Duo" Pump in compartment with 2 25' hoses.
Older set of large(er) spreaders and older O-cutter(spare)
Chain Shackles for Old Spreader & New Combi-Tool & 1 set of chains
Small & Medium Telescoping Rams.

Currently looking to replace Duo pump with 2 smaller PPU's and the older spreaders with a newer (more powerful) set of spreaders.

Wearefrd, we use a old beverage truck. We rechassied it several years ago and it works great for what we do. On the drivers side we carry Hurst dual pump with 150 cutter, 27 spreader and three rams (up to 60"). On the passenger side we have a Paladin combo tool with a separate gas powered pump and a Roadrunner connected to a reel that works off a electric powered pump. The truck is cross manned by two personnel (three if a volunteer shows up).

This is backed up by two light rescue / equipment trucks. They each carry a portable pump, spreader, cutter, as well as more cribbing.

All tools are Lukas.

We carry basic ems stuff just to pacakge a paitent if we get them out befpre an ambulance arrives, such as backs boards and collers. We also carry airbags, air chisel, generator, lots of kribbing,various hand tools(axes,shovels,bolts cutters....) a porta power, sawzall and some extinguishers.
