The Indianola Fire Department obtained a ROLLNRACK Power Roller through a grant from the Warren County Philanthropic Partnership.

According to the Fire Department, the Power Roller system is designed to drain, roll, transport and load the fire hose onto the apparatus. After extinguishing a fire, three or four firefighters may remain on the scene to pick up the hose and be prepared for the next emergency. The automatic hose roller is not a luxury, but rather a need to increase firefighters’ workflow efficiency. The hose roller will help crews conserve energy, keep carcinogens off personal protective equipment and skin and help prevent unnecessary injuries.
