This week’s edition of our social media series where we answer your questions about our fire department and the fire service in general…. “𝙒𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙖𝙧𝙚 𝙘𝙤𝙢𝙢𝙤𝙣 𝙩𝙤𝙤𝙡𝙨 𝙪𝙨𝙚𝙙 𝙗𝙮 𝙁𝙞𝙧𝙚𝙛𝙞𝙜𝙝𝙩𝙚𝙧𝙨?”
When our firefighters step off the Engine, Rescue, or Ladder Truck, in addition to their SCBA Pack, they are typically carrying one of these four tools:
– Halligan Bar
– Flat Head Axe
– New York Hook
– Pike Pole
The nature of the emergency call and the assignment of the crew will dictate what will be the final items carried by each member of the crew. In some cases it may also include a Pressurized Water Can, Extinguisher, Bolt Cutters, Large Mallet, etc…
Each tool has specific features & purposes along with some shared capabilities; you can read about each one in the graphic attached to this post.
