Jefferson County
Emergency Management Agency owns these two Kubota RTV900s. One is outfitted with a
EMS rescue skid and the other with fire and rescue skid combo. Birmingham
Fire Department and Westwood Rescue split ownership of the vehicles, but
they are used together at many special events during the year.
The Kubota's are used during the Aaron's 499 is a NASCAR
Sprint Cup stock car race held at
Talladega Superspeedway in Talladega, Alabama and at other special
events at the raceway.
Other than special events, the Kubota's are also used for
lost person searches, small brush fires and water rescues.
Jefferson County wanted the UTV to have a diesel engine, and
decided on the Kubota RTV900
