Rescue 410 - 2016 Chevrolet/ESI Rapid Response
Designed for over a year, this rig (one of the first in the region) demonstrates the forward thinking planning that went into this highly functional unit. Assigned for EMS first response, it features dual slide out trays in the rear with the most commonly used equipment stored on the right side (allowing just one door to be opened for quick access) with long equipment stored behind. The side storage compartments feature LED track lighting and an abundance of power strips (a prime example of forward planning for future power demands). Equipment carried includes forcible entry hand tools, a battery operated Hurst® StrongArm battery powered mini combi-tool, basic traffic control supplies and BLS medical gear including an AED.
