There should be no apologies from fire departments that continue to look to ways to add value.

I think its a great idea, I would even suggest putting a police officer on the rig and between runs they could patrol the neighborhood!

And maybe a lottery ticket machine on the pump panel . . . but the beer tap is probably a no-no. 🤪

I saw a rig up several years ago, I'm not sure on what website, that had a stretcher and EMS equipment in the back half of the cab where the crew seating is in most rigs. I forget exactly what the department was but I believe it was in Minnesota or Wisconsin.

Not the same setup but stumbled upon this video a couple years ago of early 90's Cleveland Fire Squad 1 pulling a woman from a house fire and then transporting her themselves in the back of their rig, starts around 2:30.

Cleveland has done this for years. Their rescues have had cots in them for years. It was always crazy to see them backed into the ER at University Hospital on the east side. They're down to two rescues now, from 4 but I'm pretty sure the cots remain. Their use has dropped dramatically though, basically members and kids, else CEMS (third service EMS) is usually on scene.

Broward Sheriff fire rescue used to have a engine that the stretcher went through the jump seats.

They still have it. Last I knew it was assigned to Station 106 which is on I-75 / alligator alley in the Florida Everglades.

Heard at City Council...Just out of curiosity, between fire and medical responses, can "those" people working that day pick-up recyclables.

Sorta looks like the old SOC franken-rigs from the shops, only they kept the pump.
