Polaris today announced it is working with RKO
Enterprises to offer a Fire and Rescue solution

building the most advanced and best fire apparatus
in the industry. Their products feature exclusive

vehicle fire and rescue apparatus with the

& Rescue solution,” said Mike Stone,

service tank system, it is the ultimate Fire
