RESCUE BY PURPOSE

FIRST RESPONSE

Perfect for the initial response and management of incidents, the First Response Rescue is designed to operate with limited numbers of personnel. These small equipment carriers can begin the management of a scene until larger units can respond. In smaller, less involved incidents, the First Response Rescue can serve well as the main response unit.

Urban Search & Rescue

URBAN SEARCH AND RESCUE

Urban Search and Rescue vehicles are specially designed for mitigating natural and man-made disasters. The tools and equipment in these trucks encompass the full spectrum in rescue and recovery: air and hydraulically-powered tools, winches and lifting tripods, shoring materials and cutting equipment.

HazMat Rescue

HAZMAT RESPONSE

Designed for intervention at hazardous materials incidents, these vehicles often have a command center within the cab or body in addition to a vast array of storage options for specialized equipment. The command centers often include computer equipment, radio and video monitoring, and weather equipment to manage the scene. HazMat Response rescue bodies are configured to store the specialized equipment required including suits, over-pack drums and decontamination equipment. Some also have small laboratories for analyzing materials.

Air & Light Support Rescue

AIR AND LIGHT SUPPORT

These rescues are specially designed to provide breathing air and/or lighting. Breathing air systems range from 2- or 4-bottle cascade operations with a simple fill panel and enclosure up to breathing air compressors, 8 or more cascade bottles with multiple banks, bottle fill enclosures, and self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) bottle storage racks. Lighting support comes from horizontally or vertically mounted light masts with light heads ranging from 1000W to 9000W.

Bomb Response Rescue

BOMB RESPONSE

Bomb Response vehicles are designed for scene control and explosives collection, and contain highly specialized equipment to manage the threat of explosives. Units may include bomb retrieval robots, detonation devices, special storage, tools and ramps. These rescues often have command centers that include radio and video equipment, as well as room for personnel

Heavy Duty Rescue

HEAVY DUTY RESCUE

A Heavy-Duty Rescue is a mobile equipment storage center designed to carry any and all types of tools: extrication equipment, ladders, backboards, breathing air bottles, medical equipment, and salvage and overhaul equipment. Configure yours as a straight equipment carrier (non-walk-in); equipment/manpower carrier (walk-in), a combination walk-in/non-walk-in, or even add a special application like a tractor trailer. Whatever you need, Pierce can provide.

Incident Command Rescue

INCIDENT COMMAND

These command-style vehicles are used by highly specialized teams to manage, organize and monitor incidents for long periods of time. Command centers include radio and video equipment, as well as room for personnel, food storage areas and conference rooms. Police, fire departments and governmental agencies are typical customers for this type of vehicle.

Tacticalt Response Rescue

TACTICAL RESPONSE

Tactical Response rescues are made to operate in a support-related function. They may provide fire-ground support (personnel, salvage and overhaul equipment, additional SCBA bottles, etc.); rescue related support (hydraulic or air tools, air bags, winches, etc.); and/or other specialized support (dive or ice rescue, emergency medical rescue, or below-grade rescue).
