BREAKING NEWS-BURN BAN IN EFFECT FOR PARK COUNTY - JUNE 12, 2013  North-West Fire’s New Hammer  February 5, 2013 - Fairplay, CO; North-West Fire Protection District is proud to put its new Hazardous Material Response (Hammer) vehicle in service. This vehicle was 100% funded using funding from the Department of Homeland Security. The funds were allocated through the South Central Region, of which Park County is a part of. The Hammer will be stationed in Fairplay and can be used to respond to any hazardous material incidents in the county, as well as be called to neighboring counties if requested. North-West Fire currently has 4 Hazardous Materials Technicians and is working on developing several more through extensive training. The vehicle itself is a perfect example of recycling. Before being converted to its current form it was a 2006 Freightliner beverage delivery truck. HazMatSales.com based out of Ocala, FL converted it to a 4WD Hammer so that it can be used anywhere in our rugged terrain and in all weather conditions. “This will be a great asset for the entire county” said North-West Fire Chief Mike Roll. “It is the only vehicle of its kind up here and we plan on using it to help make the region safer by being able too much more quickly and effectively respond to any hazardous materials calls.” One unique aspect of this Hammer is that it has an Incident Command space in the back that will allow the IC to be out of the elements while making the critical decisions for any type of ongoing incident, not just a hazardous materials call. “We are very excited for this rig to be a part of our fleet and what it will provide to us for a long time to come” said Chief Roll. |
