New Quick Response Vehicles: MT Fire Department Feels Success

The Billings (MT) Fire Department purchased two Quick Response Vehicles (QRV) last year to supplement the city's supply of full sized engines. Statistics indicate that 70% of the department's responses are medical emergencies and since December of last year the newly purchased vehicles have replaced engines during these incidents.
