Each seat is outfitted with an SCBA (Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus) for easy donning and doffing inside the cab. In addition, the interior is lined with multiple tools and hand lights the crew may take with them when they get off the truck.

    Located here on three slide out trays, are a large assortment of tools needed for rescue operations. Everything from hand tools such as axes, chains, sledges, glass cutters and halligan bars to some of the more specialized equipment such as Res-Q-Jack struts and our TNT hydraulic rescue tools. The tools are on pre-connected hydraulic lines for quick deployment at an emergency scene. Vehicle stabilization equipment and the controls for the light tower are also located here.
