Duxbury Massachusetts uses this 1996 American General Hummer with a General Motors diesel engine and an Allison automatic transmission as their Rescue

It carries 200 gallons of water in a poly tank, and has a fire pump with Class A foam capability. It also carries hose, a stokes basket, various rescue rope, EMS supplies, survival suits, an ice rescue sled, a 12' extension ladder, pike poles, a 6,000 pound capacity electric winch, and a portable generator for lighting.

This truck is designed with "run flat" tires so if one or more tire should become flat or otherwise damaged, it will not stop the truck from continuing its mission. It is also equipped with a (CTIS) Central Tire Inflation System. This is an on-board air compressor and valve system that allows the driver to raise or lower air pressure in the tires while moving so we can traverse difficult terrain such as beach sand, mud or snow. We might lower the tire pressure to travel through beach sand, mud, or snow, but once back on firm ground, we would inflate the tires to highway pressure while still underway. The truck is also capable of "fording" water up to about 42" deep.
