PHOENIX, New York (February 1, 2019) - The Enterprise Fire Company No. 1 in Phoenix, New York has accepted delivery of a custom-built Toyne Priority Response Vehicle (PRV). The fire department received the apparatus in late November. As the department’s first Toyne apparatus, the PRV will fulfill multiple roles for the growing department, such as mutual aid backup and first response.

Enterprise Fire Company’s Toyne Tailored Apparatus is mounted on a Spartan Gladiator LFD chassis with a raised 10-inch roof. Powered by a Cummins ISL 450 horsepower engine and an Allison 3000 EVS transmission, the PRV is quick to respond to calls. Toyne fitted the department’s apparatus with a 1,000-gallon UPF tank and a Hale Qmax 2000 pump, capable of pumping water at 2,000 gallons per minute.

Toyne also customized the apparatus by mounting it with an Akron 3440 Deckmaster electric firefighting monitor, and it is equipped with telescoping Fire Research SPA260-Q15 surface mounted lights. A Foam Pro 1600 Class A automatic foam system was installed for further fire suppression capabilities.

Established in 1852, the Enterprise Fire Company, dubbed the “Home of the Firebirds”, has over 160 years of rich firefighting history. The Firebird outfit consists of 40 volunteer firefighters that carry on the mission of protecting those they serve by providing EMS and fire protection to the communities of Phoenix, Lysander, Schroeppel, and mutual aid to neighboring departments in Oswego County. Even though the department primarily protects rural areas, they respond to over 550 calls annually.

“It has been a very good and positive experience working with Toyne. This company takes so much pride in what they build,” said Ed Mason, Fire Chief of the Enterprise Fire Company. “I would not hesitate to recommend other departments to buy a Toyne. As a new chief it makes me feel good knowing it will do what it needs to do when needed.”

This Toyne PRV was sold by J.P.B. Fire Service, Inc., an authorized Toyne dealer based out of Syracuse, New York.

WESTFIELD, IN—IMMI, a global leader in the innovation, testing, and manufacturing of advanced safety systems has launched Per4Max™, a game-changing 4-point restraint for ambulances. 

Visitors at FDIC in Indianapolis got to experience IMMI’s new safety system first hand during the Per4Max challenge.   Initially unveiled at a rollover crash demonstration for REV Group and Horton Ambulances at CAPE, the Center for Advanced Product Evaluation, Per4Max was also featured on ABC’s Good Morning America who captured the event for their viewers.  

An estimated 4,500 ambulances are involved in accidents every year, but 84% of emergency medical technicians do not wear their seat belts because they restrict movement while treating a patient. * IMMI’s Per4Max allows them to reach, stretch, and even stand up in their restraint if necessary. Patient safety is also improved when EMTs buckle up. They remain restrained in an accident and not thrown around the interior of the vehicle, possibly injuring the patient further.

Per4Max also includes exclusive controlled deceleration technology to help EMTs ride down crash forces, applying less strain on their bodies.  Rev Group is making Per4Max standard on all their new ambulances.

“IMMI engineers solutions that lead to advancements in safety,” said Larry Gray, IMMI CEO.  “When we see a need to improve safety, like in the ambulance industry, we drive innovation and make it happen.”

Lance Randolph, Horton Ambulance General Manager added, “At Horton, we lead the industry with our quality, safety, customization, and innovation. IMMI helps us achieve those objectives because of our shared commitment to advance first responder safety.”
