The truck has two Hurst tools (Jaws of Life), powered by a Hurst Simo Pump in its rear compartment. It also carries high-rise and stabilization jacks.

This apparatus was designed to provide immediate stabilization, immediate fire control and begin the extrication process to free victims involved in any type of accident, if necessary. It also was designed to function as a water supply unit at fire incidents.

This truck was designed to be first out on all motor vehicle rescue calls.
