The Liberty Steam Fire Company No.1 has received a grant to upgrade our ventilation fans. The four new fans can operate on either the same batteries that our other tools currently use or on 110V. electrical power. Each fan is equipped with two LED lights at the front to improve visibility in areas where lighting is limited.
The new, more compact fans allow the department to carry two fans each on both Ladder 63 and the Squad 63. This doubles the previous capacity that we carried previously. This improvement will provide a safer way for firefighters to operate and will enhance their ability to clear smoke more effectively following a fire or a minor incidents such as the common cooking mishap calls.
