Very unique! I have yet to meet a FF agency that justifies the cost of quads for response work, but I've heard they exist


Good job on the warning package. It definitely gets your attention.

They are in Belgium in fact.


We do not have any Quads but an agency customer of mine has 2 and a enclosed trailer for them.


They NEED them where they are at up in the mountains

[shott8283]

they are common around these areas. more of less the use of gators and utility machines as opposed to actual quads . but are used.

 

[TCO]

they actually do come in handy in some cases,we have a couple departments in the northern part of our county that have them and a squad in the lower end that uses them for searches and remote recoveries

I would love to get one. I think they are very useful for vairous applications.

I'd like to see close-ups of how they're mounted, particularly the ones that are mounted to the tubing.

On somewhat of a similar note ... we got called out for a missing "quad" on an ATV about a year ago. After a minute of laughing (to myself), there was a whole lot of radio traffic and the confusion was cleared up. Our subject was indeed a quadrapelegic but he was in a UTV (side by side),not an ATV. He did have limited use of his arms and had gone for a ride in the mountains above Salt Lake City in a modified Yamaha Rhino. He wanted to be independant but had gone riding alone (big no no) and rolled the Rhino on a steep trail. It was early spring and the rain started turning to snow and he was severely hypothermic (he'd been laying there for a couple of hours). We found him but neither Life Flight or Air Med would fly in that nasty weather but the patients body temp was around 88 degrees and he was becoming unresponsive. Thank god for the Dept of Public Safety's (highway patrol) helicopter. They went up even in the heavy clouds and intermittent snow. We set up rope systems to get him about 1000 feet up the mountain to a clearing where the chopper had set down. Stuffed the stokes in the back seat sideways but it was so long one of the doors wouldn't close. So a medic had to hold the door for the flight of the mountain. The kid ( 26 yr old ) lived but just barely.
