Intermediate Technical Rescue Trailers
 
There are 10 Technical Rescue Units across the state. Each unit cost around $450,000 to build. Each Technical Rescue Unit consists of a tow vehicle, a 38-foot trailer containing rescue equipment and a Small Rescue Unit.
The Small Rescue Unit is a multi-faceted, self-contained rescue trailer. A 44 horsepower diesel engine and a 20KVW generator powers each unit. Fixed equipment includes a full range of hydraulic core technology extrication tools, two 900-watt light towers, a breathing air compressor system, four cascade air tanks and storage for additional equipment. Once on scene the tow vehicle can be disconnected from the trailer and be used for other needed functions such as transporting responders and equipment closer to the incident.
