Title: Squad 3 (Heavy Rescue) Equipment inventory.
Post by: FireChief on May 14, 2009, 15:46:05
Today was the weekly inventory on the heavy rescue so what better time to take picture of all the equipment it carries.  ;D

First, I'll start with a little background information on the truck. The Squad responds to all working fires in the city and township of Playmobil as the designated RIT company (rescue possible downed firefighters), to all technical rescues (water, collapse, highangle, elevator, etc), all haz-mat incidents, and all motor vehicle crashes with entrapment.

Now to the truck...

I've finally added numbers and stuff to the sides to make it match the rest of the fleet.

Now all the stuff...

Compartment 1 carries the cribbing load - 2x4's and a sledge hammer

The cribbing is used to stabilize vehicles involved in wrecks.

The cab also has some stuff mounted in it. On the dash the officer has a mobil data terminal to keep up to date with the latest info on the run or where the unit is going. A flashlight and phone are also mounted in the cab. Behind the officer's side door there are also some tools for easy access.

And if anyone was wondering, fleet services can still work on the engine.

I'm sorry that I missed this topic earlier, FireChief! I'm really impressed with your design of the rescue 3 vehicle, & the equipment allocation is first class  :)9! There are definite similarities to the new 4821 fire engine to come out soon, as if Playmobil copied your design  :lol:!

Hello Ben,

Sorry for the late reply to your thread :-[. I have allways been impressed with your custom rescue trucks. You have been able to achieve something that I have failed at myself, finding the ultimate tool box on wheel's. I am very impressed with how you are able to fit all the tools on board ! Just remember Ben, you can NEVER have too many tools ;D :lol:.
