Equipped to combat fires and rescue people trapped by the effects of bombing, a hand-pushed truck has been assigned the task of patrolling 5acres of floor space in the Merchandise Mart building at Chicago. Manned by a trained crew, the truck may be placed aboard an elevator and lifted to the floor where it is needed. Its equipment includes spotlights, fire extinguishers, axes, pinch bars, respirators and first-aid materials.
