Blowing Rock Fire and Rescue
Unique response areas require unique features in rescue rigs. Blowing Rock is located in the Blue Ridge Mountain Range with the famous Blue Ridge Parkway and the Appalachian Trail skirting the town. The fire department required an agile heavy rescue that could maneuver the steep grades and winding mountain roads. One feature of this rig is the amount of useable storage space available and a short wheelbase to help with maneuvering the tight roadways.
