Within 2 hours of performing a demo and the Bensalem Township Fire & Rescue deciding on purchasing a Holmatro Rescue Tool academy system from ESI Equipment, Inc., the daytime crew got a chance to perform an extrication on Interstate 95 at Street Road in Bucks County.  The equipment worked flawlessly and a door was removed in very little time.

 The new department based out of the Bensalem Township Complex in Bucks County, PA was recently formed to handle daytime assistance to the other volunteer companies in the township.  Being a new organization, the crew is in the process of equipping their Engine 222 with a multitude of equipment to handle their emergency responses.  They quickly chose the Holmatro Academy System which consists of a Duo Gas Power Unit (DPU31); 27” Spreader (4240UL); 5” Cutter (4020UL); Medium Telescopic Ram (4350); 2-CORE Hoses; and, a Ram Support (HRS22) because of the complete package and immediate availability.

Holmatro provides the ability for local dealers, like ESI, to consign sets of equipment each year to training academies throughout our region.  The Bensalem Township Fire & Rescue took advantage of the one-year old system to add to their compliment of equipment which now includes the state-of-the-art Holmatro CORE hydraulics.

 Congratulations to the crew on Engine 222.
