Rescue 443

2002 Ford

Rescue 443 is our primary response apparatus. It responds on all medical calls, and is the first piece of apparatus out the door on motor vehicle accidents. Rescue 443 usually rolls out last on structure fires to provide medical stand-bye and firefighter rehabilitation.

Rescue 443 carries basic life support equipment along with extrication and traffic control tools for motor vehicle accidents. Some special features include automatic tire chains, an on board generator, scene lighting kit, and a towing receiver for hauling possible future acquisitions. Rescue 443 is not licensed to transport patients, but a patient care area is located in the rear with heating, cooling and a fire radio.

Rescue 443 seats three firefighters and/or cadets, one officer and one apparatus operator.
