Several committee members from Blue Rock Fire Rescue recently spent two days at E-ONE‘s manufacturing facility in Hamburg, New York, for a mid-point inspection of their new E-ONE rescue vehicle. The visit provided the team with an opportunity to review the progress of the custom-built rescue apparatus and ensure that it meets the department’s specific needs and requirements.

The Blue Rock Fire Rescue committee, consisting of experienced firefighters and officers, closely examined the vehicle’s construction, design, and various components, including the chassis, storage compartments, and specialized equipment. Their objective was to confirm that the apparatus adheres to the department’s specifications and the highest industry standards.

During their time at E-ONE’s facility, the committee members also met with the company’s engineers and production staff to discuss any necessary adjustments or improvements to the rescue vehicle. These collaborative efforts between the fire department and the manufacturer are crucial in ensuring that the final product will effectively serve the Blue Rock community for years to come.

The mid-point inspection marks an important milestone in the development of Blue Rock Fire Rescue’s new E-ONE rescue vehicle. Upon completion and delivery, the apparatus will enhance the department’s capabilities in responding to various emergency situations, including vehicle extrications, technical rescues, and hazardous materials incidents.
