The 12 foot truck size is ideal for urban areas, with limited space and tighter turns, but is also ideal for use in responses to more remote locations with harsher environments and limited paved road access. Smaller vehicles, like this Rescue truck, can respond more efficiently and quickly to an emergency situation than a large tanker truck, because it has faster acceleration and easier maneuverability. With the optimally designed roll-out trays and adjustable shelves, the truck is sure to have enough space for all emergency gear and equipment your crew will need for all emergency situations. Safety features like sirens, light bars, telescoping lights, and rear backup cameras and alarms increase the safety of firefighters, allowing them to perform their actions more efficiently and protect everyone in the area as well.

Ward Apparatus is proud to include the NO SMOKE 2 diesel exhaust filtering system on our 12’ Rescue Ford F-550 Chassis truck. NO SMOKE is designed and manufactured by our sister company, Ward Diesel Filter Systems, to protect firefighter health by eliminating toxic diesel particulates from the vehicle’s exhaust automatically whenever the vehicle is running. Whether idling at the station or on-scene of an emergency, NO SMOKE works to protect firefighter health and reduce occupational cancer risks.
