heavy rescue to hazmat conversion


Converting a Heavy Rescue to a Hazmat is no small task. The Poudre Fire Authority contacted  SVI Refurb to take its existing Heavy Rescue and cost effectively transform it into a newly re-purposed vehicle. The scope of this project was vast and included modifications to every compartment, as well as cab changes. Below the before and after photos is a list of some of the many upgrades, modifications and additions Poudre Fire Authority requested. But don't let the scope of this project fool you; refurbishing a truck to like-new finish can be more cost-effective than buying a new apparatus.
