This is the rescue, sometimes referred to as a “Heavy Rescue” for the complex tasks it completes. Though the truck looks black over red, the top color is actually FBI blue. This color was picked to stand out against the norm and matches West Webster’s dark blue turnout gear, which makes our firefighters stand out in a crowd. This truck carries most of the specialized equipment needed for pushing, prying, lifting, moving or cutting anything within the district. The truck carries all the rescue tools for motor vehicle accidents, air bags for lifting, rope and water rescue gear, as well as a full complement of firefighting equipment and a light tower to assist in night operations.
This truck is the primary response vehicle for motor vehicle accidents. West Webster responds to an average of 150 car accidents each year. In addition due to the specialized equipment carried, the rescue responds to other jurisdictions to assist with incidents.
