City approves purchase of new extrication tools to better serve the citizens

The City of Rockledge has approved purchase of a full compliment of new extrication tools to serve the public more efficiently in emergencies.  The tools, called "eDRAULIC" by Hurst Tools, will replace the current tools being used by the Fire Department which are over 16 years old.

These tools are fully operated by battery power, reducing setup time and other potential complications during use.  In addition, the potential for more rapid deployment and increased mobility allow for application in more types of emergencies.

The Rockledge Firefighters would like to thank and commend the city for their willingness to make the necessary expenditures to maintain the highest level of service to the citizens in an emergency.
