Congratulations to Copiague Fire Department on their new, custom built, high water rescue truck! Using an M939 series 5-ton 6x6 truck as a base, this truck is built to rescue those endangered by floods that would damage or destroy conventional vehicles. To help in this objective, this truck is outfitted with 360 degree scene and warning lights, and a public address system. The custom built rear compartment features front and rear entrances and exits with additional steps and handrails, a custom built folding water resistant liftgate, bench seating inside the rear compartment, heaters, and rescue equipment.
