Power and portability when seconds count

The Washburn Fire Department in Wisconsin now has battery-powered hydraulic tools for life-saving vehicle extrication work. The portability of these tools, partially funded by a Safe Community First Responder Program grant from Enbridge, is critical when seconds count, says fire chief Mark: “A big improvement for our department. And there’s nothing on a car we can’t cut with them.” Adds assistant fire chief Al: “Fantastic. They’re going to make our capabilities a lot more wide-ranging, between the power and the portability.”
