Squad 708 was delivered to the RCFD in August of 2006. Manufactured by Marion Body Works, in Marion, WI, and sold by Johnson Fire equipment this unit can be thought of as a giant tool box on wheels. While this truck does not have a pump, water tank or hose, it is no less important than other fire apparatus. 708 has seating for twelve firefighters, six of them air pack seats. This brings a lot of manpower to a scene. The truck has a 25kw pto driven generator and 18,000 watts of floodlighting all around the truck. This lighting turns the darkness of a night time fire scene to a well lit area for firefighter safety. Carried on Squad 708 is a large variety of tools and equipment ranging from air packs and spare bottles, an air refill system, ventilation saws & fans, salvage covers, a large assortment of hand tools, basic first aid supplies, an incident command area, our back up jaws of life equipment, and much more. 708 responds as a squad truck to all fire calls in our district. Upon purchase of 708, the old squad truck # 706 was reassigned to Rescue 706 and became the unit for primary response to auto accidents with our main jaws equipment. For the first time in RCFD history one of our trucks was published in a manufacturer’s calendar. Squad 708 appeared in the Marion Body Works national fire apparatus calendar in 2007, as the featured truck for May of that year. |
