Roxbury Company 2 recently took delivery of our new Holmatro extrication tools which will be replacing our older hydraulic extrication tools. Our previous tools served Roxbury for nearly 30 years and were used at countless motor vehicle accidents, rescues, and training drills throughout the township.
Our new Holmatro tools are fully battery operated, allowing crews to operate more efficiently without being limited by hydraulic hoses or power units. This gives us the ability to quickly move equipment wherever it is needed, especially in situations where victims may be down an embankment or away from the rescue truck.
We would like to thank Leandra Kane from ESI Equipment, Inc. for coming out to provide hands-on training and practical drills on the proper use, operation, and maintenance of this new equipment.
These tools are a major investment in the safety of both our firefighters and the community, and they will help us continue serving Roxbury residents for many years to come.
