                                North Boston Rescue 7
                           


On September 24th, 2000, the members of the North Boston Fire Company took delivery of their new 2000 RD Murray/ Freightliner Custom Dominion Series Walk-around Rescue.  After almost 4 years of performing a detailed needs assessment for a new rescue truck, the finishing touches were being put on this well crafted piece of apparatus. Built on a Freightliner low profile FL70 chassis and custom rescue box, this piece of apparatus is a unit the fire company will grow into. Some of the features include:

The rescue vehicle is equipped with 4 Air pack Seats, BLS First Response Equipment including AED, basic hand and power tools for auto extrication, rope rescue equipment, cordless saws-alls, farm extrication equipment, spare SCBA bottles, miscellaneous hand lights, multiple portable radios, fire police equipment and firefighter rehab equipment. Also carried is an AMKUS Rescue System, portable Telelight Generator, Command Boards and  equipment added monthly. There have been many more specialized pieces of equipment added since acquisition that make this vehicle very desirable to have at the scene.  This unit is typically the second unit out on routine alarms, behind Engine 2.
