Abstract

A utility vehicle with emergency response modules. The emergency response vehicle consists of one of a number of small utility vehicles capable of traversing areas and facilities inaccessable to ordinary street vehicles, and one of a number of modules. A major feature of the invention is the manner in which emergency equipment has been provided in separate modules suited for response to particular emergencies such as fire, ambulance, rescue, or tactical operations by law enforcement personnel. A further feature is the interchangeability of one module for another. Another feature is that the modules may be installed on a number of appropriate small utility vehicles.
