At TrafFix Devices, our commitment to safety extends beyond roadways to include those who bravely serve our communities every day—firefighters. We are proud to share a recent success story involving our specially designed Blocker Truck, which played a crucial role in saving lives during a operation on State highway 121 in Fort Worth, Texas.
The incident, as reported by CBS News, showcased the importance of advanced equipment in mitigating risks faced by firefighters. In this case, our Scorpion II Blocker Truck was deployed by the Fort Worth Fire Department to protect firefighters providing critical highway assistance. The unique design of the Blocker Truck allowed it to shield firefighters from oncoming traffic and potential secondary impacts, creating a safe zone amidst the chaos.
This blocker truck, complete with Scorpion II was not only protecting the fire crews, was also protecting a brand new two-million-dollar ladder truck that had just been put into service only weeks prior.
What sets TrafFix Devices’ Scorpion II Blocker apart is its innovative features tailored specifically for firefighting and highway crash and rescue scenarios. The truck is equipped with a specially designed, heavy-duty attenuation device, capable of withstanding extreme conditions, particularly oncoming traffic. Its maneuverability and quick deployment capabilities proved invaluable in ensuring the safety of first responders.
