HEAVY RESCUE SQUAD 354

 

Squad 354 was acquired brand new and custom built for the Arbutus Volunteers in 1993. It replaced our aging Brockway (now Baltimore City Reserve Rescue 1). Squad 354 has a Custom Spartan chassis and an American Fire Rescue main body.

  Squad 354 is a Heavy Rescue Squad, primarily used for complex auto extrications, and various other rescue operations. The unit is outfitted with a 20,000lb (10 Ton) winch and a 25KW generator. The Squad is also equipped for supporting Swift-water Rescue Operations and has a 360 Deg. rotating and retracting light tower for night time operations. A dual tank air cascade system provides the Squad with on scene capability for filling air bottles during fire operations and high pressure and low pressure airbags during complex entrapments.

Some tools of the trade that are carried on our Squad includes the Jaws of Life, high pressure and low pressure airbags, air shores, blow torches and a thermal imager.
