"Rescue trucks are the Swiss Army knives of the fire service, expected to do a little bit of everything, and some are built to do very specific tasks and are built to fill those needs.
"Take, for instance, the Inter-Canyon Fire Protection District in Morrison, CO, a rural department west of Denver. The community, accessed by a small two-lane road with virtually no shoulders, had a problem with elk versus car collisions and needed something to help clear the roads after the crashes.
"The department turned to SVI Trucks, an apparatus builder based in Fort Collins, CO, and had the rescue truck manufacturer build a new truck with a crane on board to lift the dead carcasses and open up the road to restore access."
