Polaris Government and Defense's Ranger side-by-side vehicles are tailored to meet the duties and responsibilities of fire and rescue personnel. The upfitted Ranger vehicles allow these organizations to perform critical duties in off-road and urban areas where other emergency response vehicles aren’t as effective. This includes narrow passageways such as secluded lots and city events, as well as rugged, off-road terrain. The equipment is professionally installed in a turn-key vehicle package with a full warranty from Polaris.

Rangers are a budget-friendly alternative to full-size vehicles because they are less expensive to purchase, operate, and maintain.

Ranger firefighting units incorporate a professional system that is familiar, having been developed with years of firefighter input by RKO Enterprises. These Rangers incorporate a capable pump, hose and reel, a combination tank for water, and a compressed air foam suppression system and the ability draft from a water source. Mounting options can accommodate preferences for different departments and uses.

Ranger rescue vehicles incorporate a rear attendant seat and a stokes rescue basket. Rescue personnel can select between the full-length or break-apart basket for shorter overall length when not in use.

Polaris also is providing a combination fire and rescue package, which includes the fire tank and equipment as well as the stokes rescue basket. The Rangers maintain the option for the rear equipment skids to be removed altogether for use by other departments or jobs from public works to parades. Custom graphics can be added so vehicles match the rest of the fleet.

All these new offerings come with traditional Polaris accessories options. The most popular with government agencies include the full cab, winches, storage, heating, and air conditioning.

Polaris fire and rescue Rangers are available for purchase through GSA, NJPA, state or local contracts, or directly from Polaris. Once purchased, the Ranger will be upfit and delivered directly to the customer’s location, or their Polaris dealer of choice. The system comes fully set up for immediate use and is under full warranty from Polaris. Polaris also offers customers the capability to support and maintain their own fleet of vehicles through maintenance and operator training courses, or Polaris can be contracted directly to provide the on-site service for the vehicles.

A law enforcement option is also available.
