As a firefighter or medical rescue worker, accessing the area of interest is often the first and most challenging step. In order to safely and legally traverse city streets or county highways, it may be wise to equip your vehicle with the necessary accessories. Everything Kawasaki Offroad offers turn signal and horn kits, license plate holders, DOT-rated accessories, and more to ensure that your side-by-side is street-legal. Once you've secured the appropriate accessories, it's time to focus on the specific needs of your firefighting and rescue missions.
First and foremost, it's important to be prepared for fires. Any machine with an internal combustion engine is at risk, and even battery-powered vehicles can go up in flames. For this reason, you should always have a UTV fire extinguisher on hand. Everything Kawasaki Offroad offers a range of fire extinguishers, including a foam fire extinguisher for the Teryx KRX, a powder fire extinguisher for the Teryx 750, and a CO2 fire extinguisher for the Teryx 4 S LE. It's crucial to choose the right type of fire extinguisher for the specific type of fire you may encounter.
In addition to the type of fire extinguisher you choose, it's also important to have a secure and accessible fire extinguisher mount. Everything Kawasaki Offroad offers a variety of mounts, from velcro holders to metal and plastic mounts. A quick-release mount allows you to easily access the fire extinguisher in case of an emergency.
For larger fires, in-bed water tanks and deluge systems can be the most effective solution. Kimtek's bed skids, water tanks, and firefighting products offer an integrated tank that can hold up to 85 gallons of water or other flame-retardant fluids. You can use the included adapter to fill up water backpacks for tackling fires on foot, or turn on the high pressure pump, unreel the hose, and ready the nozzles to blast massive amounts of water directly from the tank itself.
Communication is essential during rescue missions, and Kawasaki Teryx communication kits with an intercom and two-way radio provide constant contact with the other members of your team. Additional lighting may be necessary for missions that take place at night or in low-visibility environments, and Everything Kawasaki Offroad offers a range of lights including spot lights, flood lights, and scene lights.
No matter the specific needs of your firefighting or rescue mission, Everything Kawasaki Offroad has the right accessories for you. From street-legal necessities to fire and rescue equipment, prepare your Kawasaki Teryx for any situation.
