Primary reason is to save a life and reduce injuries. Specific reason is that 8Rescue 8 truck coming from the Kasson Drive fire station carries the “Jaws of Life.” And 8Rescue 9 squad from the St. Wendel Road fire station brings the Jaws of Life. The Jaws of Life are used to extricate someone from an accident. In German Township we have many high speed accidents that require the use of the Jaws of Life and other extrication tools. The other two reasons are fire suppression and fuel spill cleanup.
