Velocity® Combination Rescue - Loudoun County Combined Fire and Rescue, VA

Loudoun County Combined Fire and Rescue chose the Velocity cab to maximize storage space. This includes multiple compartments for additional gear and equipment. The compartments are organized based on priority so they can grab frequently used tools efficiently. The Combination HDR features recessed electrical panels to utilize storage space in front of the panel effectively.
The walk-in body is temperature controlled. The grab handles on the ceiling allow them to hang equipment and gear to dry. There is also a ladder that folds down from the ceiling to access the escape hatch. This gives the crew easy access to the 3,000-lb anchor points on the roof used in rope applications. Two 9,000-lb anchor points are mounted on the rear of the vehicle. An air dump has been added to lower the apparatus so the axles are in contact with the frame. This prevents the rig from compensating for the air suspension in winch and rope applications.
The front bumper is customized with chain compartments allowing for a grab-and-go setup. It also features a 15,000-lb winch with easy access. The storage box on the driver’s side will be used for other equipment and gives the bumper a clean look.

It would be nice if Pierce would show the apparatus w/all of its emergency lights on for each veh, like at the end of the vids.

[@spencerberklite5118]

Bill Blast agreed. That way it would show the different layouts and options for lighting as well.

[@TheKMG365]

Beautiful truck! Great design, especially that bumper. Lets just hope they don't have to actually use it as a bumper though...

[@chrisrice2083]

Absolutely amazing it will help them guys out so much doing there job

Clean cab, means no SCBA, Am I wrong?

[@Firebuff101]

Yeah I was a little confused when he said clean cab and then they showed SCBA holders in the cab

[@spencerberklite5118]

No SCBA or PPE

[@trob0914]

No Used gear, Cleaned/ decom gear OK!!In other words Turnout gear can't be in the cab/ clean space once you've worn it on scene, til you've cleaned/ washed & decontaminated it.

[@ritirons2726]

Clean cab means a sales gimmick that all the manufacturers offer. If you have enough time as a firefighter you’ll understand. Don’t get me wrong, I’m all for protecting firefighter health and their safety but the “clean cab” concept is just a selling point.

[@jimmyboe2753]

nice video 👍

[@americanoutdoorsman_1133]

Would love to see it with the equipment on it.

[@donnierobertson3088]

Nice

[@hunteraudlin6108]

Yes loudoun county does run fire apparatus on medicals

[@jeroldjorgensen5019]

Are rescue companies similar to squad kind of the jack-of-all-trades the toolbox if you will

[@bengone3349]

What's the purpose of the small extended side lights on the rear? It may not be long before they are broken off.

[@ourmilotin2819]

They are marker lights so the driver can see where the rear of the apparatus is
