UPDATED PICTURE
Custom Truck and Body Works, Inc. designed this 12-foot rescue unit for Forsyth County, NC Fire Division to deliver exceptional operational capability in a highly maneuverable platform. Built on a RAM 5500 4x4 diesel chassis, this apparatus moves beyond the conventional rescue truck by integrating specialized storage and deployment solutions that maximize efficiency without increasing vehicle size. Unlike many rescue bodies available on the market that rely on fixed shelving and basic compartment layouts, this build incorporates multiple full-extension SlideMaster roll-out trays, a rotating tool carousel, tilt tray, rooftop coffin box storage, and a custom interior configuration engineered specifically around the department's equipment. The addition of a 3,000-watt inverter/charger system provides dependable onboard AC power, while the custom rear crew area features folding SCBA seating and a purpose-built EMS console that enhances both crew comfort and operational readiness. A sophisticated multiplex electrical system further streamlines vehicle controls and simplifies future serviceability. Every compartment, storage solution, and access point was intentionally designed to reduce deployment time and improve equipment organization, resulting in a rescue apparatus that is purpose-built rather than simply outfitted. The result is a premium rescue vehicle that offers greater versatility, improved ergonomics, and significantly more mission-specific functionality than many production rescue trucks offered today.
