Our most recent addition was obtained through a EMA grant to assist departments in planning for today's looming threats of disaster on a statewide scale.  The grant provided rescue capabilities of varying degree to numerous departments throughout the state.  Florence was awarded a grant for Heavy Rescue.  We are responsible for a 13 county response area.  The apparatus was ordered from Sutphen.  It is a rescue style body with climate controlled cab, seating for 8, 430hp caterpillar diesel, command desk in cab, hydraulic-electric-and air reels, roof mounted command lighting, roll up doors, and 12k winch.  The apparatus is designated as the Heavy Rescue Company 2 of Region 5 for the state.  It will respond to incidents outside of Florence upon request of the EMA.  It has been equipped with numerous tools and is fully functional and staffed 24 hours a day by the Florence Fire Rescue.  It is currently assigned to all multi-alarm fires, high rise alarms, mva with entrapment, and other rescue situations.  It also catches a few medical alarms if needed.  The truck receives a daily staffing of two men.  If called upon for state duty,  the truck has a team of men trained for heavy rescue that report in for duty.
