R-21 is equipped with a telescoping light tower, command cab, on-board cascade system and a wide variety of extrication and rescue tools.

Controls on the back of the truck extend this arrow stick another 4 feet above the roof to create an extra-tall and bright safety feature. This is highly useful for Rescue 21 as they frequently respond to one of the busiest sections of Interstate 65. |
