It takes some creative thinking to be able to convert a walk-around Hazmat truck into a walk-in hazmat apparatus.
But when the Arlington Fire Department asked SVI Refurb to transform its existing hazmat into a more user-friendly, walk-in version, the SVI Refurb team jumped at the opportunity to flex its knowledge. Modifications were done to every part of the apparatus, including cab, body, bumper and interior to turn this outdated apparatus into a future-proof hazmat.
