5-10-2024 - New Fleet Additions
New additions to the LREMS fleet!
111 (Ram) has been with us for a few months. It is our designated interstate response vehicle (IRV) and is first out to all calls on I-95 and I-74. Its size gives it more flexibility in and out of traffic, especially in construction zones. It is fully equipped with the Hurst Jaws of Life e-draulic system, hand tools and basic EMS equipment.
Squad 112 is our newest addition. It responds to calls in both the city and county, and can be a back up to calls on the interstate. It is also fully equipped with the Hurst Jaws of Life e-draulic system, hand tools and basic EMS equipment
These are two more examples of how we better serve our community.
