This week’s edition of our social media series where we answer your questions about our fire department and the fire service in general…. “๐๐๐๐ฉ ๐๐ง๐ ๐๐ค๐ข๐ข๐ค๐ฃ ๐ฉ๐ค๐ค๐ก๐จ ๐ช๐จ๐๐ ๐๐ฎ ๐๐๐ง๐๐๐๐๐๐ฉ๐๐ง๐จ?”
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.
