A first-of-its-kind fire truck in Central Texas will make its debut in the upcoming weeks, CBSAustin.com reported Friday.

Travis County ESD No. 2 is expected to unveil its new blocking apparatus built to save lives when firefighters are working incidents on major highways, the report said.

What makes this new blocking apparatus unique is that the fire department chose to take the old and turn it into something new, the report said.

Travis County ESD No.2, also known as the Pflugerville Fire Department, is taking a retired fire truck and repurposing it into a blocking apparatus, according to the report.

A fire official said it’s meant to save lives when responding to crashes on busy interstates and to prevent line of duty deaths.
