  • AWESOME truck

  • it's the only hospital based heavy rescue in the united states.

  • @metalheaddork666 Very interesting

  • @metalheaddork666 It may not be a heavy rescue, but fdny has the "merv" which is an ems bus. (Merv=major emergency response vehicle.) It is based at a hospital.

  • @jazzbutterworth No, It really is a heavy rescue. They do vehicle extraction, high angle and low angle rope rescue, confined space, a little Hazmat, and run back-up for Newark during fires. Now UMDNJ has the SOG (Special Operations Group) units, Two in Newark and one in Camden that deal with MCI's (Mass Casualty Incidents). SOG unit sounds like your MERV. And as in Hospital Based, It is owned and Operated by the University Hospital.

  • @metalheaddork666 Sorry. I think I meant to say something like it is a heavy rescue. Also fdny...

  • i Live in newark in north arlington cus stady in rutgers i am Saudi 

  • I LIVE IN NEWARK NJ!

  • So in New Jersey, do fire dept. use rescues or what?

  • no. Its owned by UMDNJ Operates as a Fire Rescue unit most of time for entrapments and other.

  • Fire uses rescue as well. UMD staffs this truck to fill the gaps. Essex is a busy county and Newark R-1 (fire)is a busy truck. there have been too many cases of entrapment jobs holding forever because R-1 was on a fire job. UMD now staffs this truck to handle extrication, along with every other rescue discipline from high-angle to trench, as well as HAZMAT. Newark Fire hates it but oh well. There is a need for multiple rescues in Newark, and this is the answer.

  • @FD7FF also the NPD ESU trucks have tools and can cut if required

  • yes they do

  • what means UMDNJ ???

    i am from germany ;)

  • University of Medical and Dentistry of New Jersey. Its a big medical complex and hospital in New Jersey

  • AWSOME LIGHTS i live in north caraolina and i have never seen blue lights on a rescue intact not anything but a cop car!

  • Im just saying, if I worked EMS and they wanted to give me that to work out of, I seriously doubt I'd say no. That things bad ass.

  • YOOOOOOO

    that rescue is the same as my rescue...except with lighting of course.

    check it out!

  • Lol. . . .no one has the same colors as my trucks :-/

  • disgusting and dangerous place to be. it's a jungle

  • First, we were sitting at a red light when they went by and recorded it. Second, if they're sooo stupid, what does that make you for sitting at your computer searching for clips like this??? Yeah...that's what I thought.

  • let's see some of your clips, if your such a critic.

  • Whos rescue truck is that ??? I want to work for an EMS company that responds in a heavy rescue

  • This is in Newark, NJ

  • It's kinda over kill for an EMS company to have a Heavy Rescue isn't it?

  • Not for the amount of work they do... you must not know what its like there...

  • Comment removed

  • UMDNJ R-1 is staffed by 2 rescue techs. not 6+. they work faster and better than the 8-man Newark FD R-1. It is not overkill for UMD to have a heavy rescue as newark FD has 1 rescue that may be assigned to working fires for hours on end and there are generally several cut-jobs a day in newark requiring rescue units. The rescue unit @ UMD is a company that demands and deserves respect, they are among the highest trained rescue techs in the country, they can keep up with FDNY rescue no problem.

  • it use to be more then 2 ;) i know there units and functions well now its dropped to 2 men i read b4 this on there main page

  • way to clear the intersection... 8-|
