New rescue Truck at Duluth Air National Guard

Fire rescue response situations can range from very simple, to very complex and life threatening. Having the proper equipment at an emergency scene is paramount when working to mitigate any emergency situation.

The 148th Fire Department recently received a new P-30 Fire Rescue vehicle that will be a great asset to the 148th Fighter Wing, the Duluth International Airport (DIAP), and the surrounding communities. The P-30 is replacing the 1987 P-10 Rescue vehicle. The P-10 gave the 148th Fire Department 20 good years of dedicated service. The P-30 is a larger vehicle then the old P-10, and the P-30 has many more compartments for storing rescue equipment. The P-30 has been equipped with a new jaws of life hydraulic rescue tool, hydraulic cutting tools, a new rescue jack stabilization kit, confined space rescue equipment, rope rescue equipment, emergency lighting, rescue ladders, self contained breathing apparatus, hazardous materials monitors, a thermal imaging camera, small hand tools, medical supplies, and many more items to assist with providing rescue care.

The P-30 Rescue Fire vehicle, is one of the things where having all your eggs in one basket, is a good thing.
