Nice, rare catch of Braintree's MBTA Rescue Truck. Keep up the good work.

[@911ERV]

+Daniel Lowell Thanks Daniel! Happy new year!

[@Rummeltobi]

Hope you got more from there! Division 1 looks great, seems like it has a little lightbar on the pushbar, side lighting looks cool too and the rear lighting is just awesome - never seen something like that before, great looking! :)

[@LiamPattisonPhotography]

They were motoring! Great video!

[@joshw1687]

That rescue rig is specialized to be used for accidents involving mbta trains. It's just based out of Braintree.

[@CobraEmergencyNorthAmerica]

That's crazy that a big city FD like Boston use another FD's rig! See that often with small FDs but not big ones. Still, great idea and good use of resources! Awesome :D

[@911ERV]

From what I recall the Braintree unit was bought by the MBTA and while Braintree gets to use it as their rescue, if other cities need it they're obligated to provide it.

[@CobraEmergencyNorthAmerica]

@@911ERV Oh okay! That's different.

[@UrgencesGeneve]

Nice video !!

[@PFDChaseVids]

Awesome freaking catch!!

[@waeller.rescue]

Nice Clip!! 8-)

[@MrProfire]

Nice!

[@911ERV]

+MrProfire Thanks!

[@BumberenzoManilupinoCity]

Pretty cool! What’s a struck box?

[@911ERV]

When there's a report of a fire (not an activated fire alarm, but actual call from a person)

[@stueyexmcfd]

Y were they running that instead of their own spare? Unless rescue 2 was using it? Boston uses other FD's rigs as spares??

[@911ERV]

+StueyExMCFD Boston currently doesn't have a spare rescue, so when the Quantum was OOS they borrowed it from Braintree as part of a multi-town agreement. From what I understand, the MBTA bought the rescue but sold it to Braintree for $1 under the stipulation they had to send it to any community that needed it. Earlier this year, it served as Boston Rescue 2 as well. Thanks for watching!!

There she goes BIG RED Braintree RES2CUE

[@Firemansteve0911]

I still see the new Rescue is not in yet. Lol

[@ocscards9]

is Boston due for a new tower ladder 3 anytime soon?

[@911ERV]

+ocscards9 I don't believe so. The city currently has four E-One Metros and a KME for E10 on order. They are also bidding for four more aerials, not sure if a tower is included in the bid

[@ocscards9]

+RacingFan911 - Emergency Response Videos o ok I was not sure because I knw they got a new tower ladder 10 and just made ladder 17 a normal ladder wasn't sure if they would add another new tower
