Off-Road Rescue Trailer
Stationed at Porter Corners, the Off-Road Rescue Trailer is a specialized resource designed to support emergency operations in remote and difficult-to-access areas. The trailer carries an ARGO 8-wheel amphibious rescue vehicle, an ATV, a rescue sled for winter operations, and a utility trailer used to transport the rescue sled during non-winter months.
The unit is also equipped with a variety of search and rescue equipment to support wilderness, off-road, and adverse weather incidents. The ARGO is outfitted with a 100-gallon water tank and pump, allowing for initial fire suppression and water supply in areas inaccessible to traditional apparatus.
For winter operations, the ARGO can be fitted with tracks that mount over the wheels, providing enhanced mobility in deep snow and challenging terrain. As an amphibious vehicle, the ARGO is also capable of operating in water, making it a versatile asset for a wide range of rescue and emergency response situations.
