From the East Hazel Crest Fire Department's Facebook page:
Tonight, we officially received 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 equipment is powered by DEWALT batteries, unlike our previous hydraulic-powered tools. Battery-powered tools offer faster deployment, quicker operation, better mobility, fewer points of failure, and require less maintenance. In addition to the extrication tools, we also received a new set of DEWALT power tools. As an extra bonus, we were able to acquire a third extrication tool, commonly known as a "combi tool," which will be deployed on our front-line engine.
Did you know that vehicle technology has advanced significantly over the past three decades? Modern cars are built with ultra-high-strength steel, making them safer and more durable. While this improves survival rates in accidents, it also makes it harder for older equipment to cut through these materials. This means that in the event of a trapped individual, our old tools might not be efficient enough to get someone out quickly.
We’d like to extend our sincere thanks to Mayor Tom Brown and the Village of East Hazel Crest Board of Trustees for approving the purchase of these new tools—specifically the spreader and cutter. We’re also grateful to Tom from Dinges Fire Company for helping us with the purchase, training, delivery, and ongoing support of the equipment.
Last but certainly not least, we want to thank every resident, local business, and visitor who attended our events this year or made donations. It was your generosity that helped fund the purchase of the third extrication tool and the DEWALT power tools. With these new battery-powered tools from AMKUS and our updated DEWALT equipment, we're now better equipped than ever to respond to any emergency and help anyone in need.
