For Fire/Rescue Service
Only!
When conducting rescue operations,
time is of the essence. First responders must act immediately
to find and remove occupants
who are trapped. Breaking into dangerous spaces, providing
additional ventilation, or assisting with Rapid Intervention
Teams (RIT) operations requires a specialized, dependable
chain saw.
When STIHL set out to design a chain saw specifically
for fire and rescue personnel, they only had to look as
far as their own back yard – to
the Virginia Beach Fire Department (VBFD) — for professional
input. Highly respected throughout the country, the VBFD
has been actively involved
throughout the design of the
MS 460 STIHL Magnum™ "RESCUE" chain
saw.
"We were pleased to be involved in the development
process, providing input and prototype testing of this ‘Rescue' (chain)
saw," stated Gary Umphlett, master firefighter, VBFD.
Fire Chief Gregory B. Cade, VBFD, added, "We welcomed
the opportunity to contribute the knowledge of our team
in the development of a chain saw designed specifically
for Fire and Rescue services work."
