Fire Fighters Convert New Van to Aid Unit
Members of the Tukwila, Wash., Fire Department wanted a new aid unit, but they were not able to find one that met their requirements and was within range of department funds.
After spending several months looking at other units, they decided that they could build an aid car cheaper and with the same, or better, quality as those produced commercially.

Several floor plans and cabinet layouts were drawn and submitted to get opinions on the concepts. After arriving at the one acceptable floor plan, Fire Fighter Dave Hansen was put in charge.
