Buyer's Guide

Understanding Rescue Body Styles

“Rescue” covers very different trucks, from a small squad carrying hand tools to a walk-in heavy rescue with cascade air and a light tower.
Interior working space

Walk-In

An enclosed body you can stand and work inside, with room for personnel, staged equipment, and often rehab or command. Usually longer and heavier, with less outside compartment access.

Exterior access

Non-Walk-In / Walk-Around

No interior working space. All compartments open from outside, which generally gives more exterior compartment volume for the same length.

Hybrid layout

Combination

Part interior working space, part exterior compartments.

Before You Commit

What to Look For

Heavier rescues often carry some combination of cascade air, a light tower and a generator. On a rescue body, compare usable compartment space, not the number of doors.

Verify, don't assume

These are sometimes removed or out of service by the time a truck is sold, so verify rather than assume.

Cascade / Breathing Air

Breathing air storage and a fill station. Check bottle hydro dates and compressor hours, and whether the compressor is included.

Light Tower

Check generator hours as well as tower function.

Generator

Its size determines what can run at once.

Compartmentation

Compare cubic feet of compartment space and how it is divided, not the number of doors.

Equipment Storage

Ask what shelving, trays and tool mounting remain, and whether the layout suits your equipment.

What Does
"Squad" Mean?

“Squad” means different things by region: a heavy rescue in some places, an EMS or manpower unit in others, and elsewhere a lighter tool-and-personnel truck with little or no pump.

When you call, describe the body style, chassis class and what it needs to carry.
