To complete the equipment necessary for the new ladder truck, extrication equipment is recommended for purchase. The Fire Department currently has three Hurst extrication units in- service. Availability ensures proper backup in the event of equipment failure in an emergency situation. It also provides for interchangeability and compatibility of components if repairs are necessary.
