From the East Hazel Crest Fire Department's Facebook page:
Tonight, we officially took delivery of and put into service a brand-new set of extrication tools from AMKUS Rescue Systems. These tools are replacing our old ones, which have been in use for over 30 years! The new tools are powered by DEWALT batteries, unlike our previous hydraulic-powered system. Battery-powered equipment offers faster deployment, quicker operation, greater mobility, fewer points of failure, and requires less maintenance. Alongside the new extrication tools, we also received a new set of DEWALT power tools. In addition, we were able to purchase a third extrication tool from AMKUS, commonly known as a "combi tool," which will be deployed on our front-line engine.
Did you know that vehicle construction and safety have advanced significantly over the past 30 years? Modern vehicles are built with ultra-high-strength metals, making them safer in accidents and reducing the severity of injuries. However, this advancement also means that older tools—like the ones we're replacing—are no longer effective at cutting through these materials. This could lead to delays in rescuing someone trapped in a vehicle, which is why upgrading our equipment is so crucial.
We would like to formally thank Mayor Tom Brown and the Village of East Hazel Crest Board of Trustees for approving the purchase of these new tools (commonly referred to as spreaders and cutters). We also want to extend our gratitude to Tom from Dinges Fire Company for his support with the purchase, training, delivery, and ongoing servicing of the equipment.
Last but certainly not least, we’d like to thank every citizen, local business, and visitor who attended our events this year or made donations. It was your generosity that helped us fund the purchase of the third extrication tool and the new DEWALT power tools. With these state-of-the-art tools from AMKUS, powered by DEWALT batteries, we’re now better equipped than ever to respond to any emergency and save lives.
