On Wednesday August 17, 2011 Solvay took delivery of new extrication tools for both Engine 21 and Rescue 11, and Rescue 11 also received a new set of air bags.  The extrication tools are replacing dated tools that do not have the ability to efficiently extricate a patient from some of the newer automobiles.   The extrication tools are an assortment of Amkus cutters and spreaders, as well as two new dual-simo hydraulic pumps.  Rescue 11’s new air bags are Paratech, which complement the existing Paratech air bags on Engine 21, and replace Rescue 11’s Vetter bag system.
