After viewing a Res-Q-Jack demo, Rosemount Fire was able to purchase
the jacks thanks to
a donation from AAA Auto Salvage in Rosemount. Two
days after putting the new jacks into
service we were able to utilize
them at a car accident. When we arrived we found an SUV on
its side in
the center median. One person was trapped inside the vehicle. We made the
decision to stabilize the SUV with the
Res-Q-Jacks. The firefighters had the SUV stabilized
and ready for
extrication within 3 minutes. The jacks were extremely quick and easy
to set-up.
They were a great investment for Rosemount Fire with the
help of AAA Auto Salvage.
