Makita wins

HAMPSHIRE FIRE and Rescue Service’s extrication team has won the title of European Champions in vehicle extrication at a recent competition in Germany, thanks to their use of Makita tools.

The brigade used Makita’s lithium-ion reciprocating saw – a powerful cordless tool – and Makita rescue blades to cut smoothly through vehicle chassis sections, such as the door pillars.

The cordless saw contributed to the team’s success due to its powerful, lightweight and compact design. According to the team, it is an essential piece of brigade kit to start the rescue process.
