Rochester Chiefs to Have Radio-Equipped Station Wagons
Battalion Chiefs of the Rochester, N. Y., Fire Bureau will soon join the “station wagon set,” it is disclosed. Announcement was made late in February of the purchase of four station wagons for the use of chiefs of the four fire battalions in the city.
The new vehicles will be painted red and have sirens and red dome-type warning lights. In addition to the chiefs and their aides, the units will carry stretchers, blankets, oxygen tanks, gas masks, portable lights, handy-talkie radios and other essential items. They will also be equipped with two-way radio, which is rapidly becoming standard equipment with for all Rochester and Monroe County fire equipment.
