Auburn Hills, Mich. - Detroit firefighters have new lifesaving tools as a result of a special presentation on Monday, Jan. 6, when the Chrysler Group provided a new Dodge Ram pickup truck and trench rescue equipment to the city's Fire Department. As part of the event, a $25,000 check was also presented to the Detroit Fireman's Fund, to assist widows and children of fallen firefighters.

"We're pleased to be able to contribute some important new equipment to help firefighters in Detroit in their heroic efforts to save lives," said Dieter Zetsche, Chrysler Group President and CEO. "At the same time, we also wanted to provide assistance to the families of firefighters who made the ultimate sacrifice. These presentations are just part of our commitment to continuing the great relationships we have with the Detroit Fire Department, and with the city."

The Chrysler Group presented the Fire Department with a new Dodge Ram 3500 heavy-duty pickup with dual rear axles and high-output Cummins diesel engine, based on the department's needs for equipment hauling. The trench rescue equipment, the first-ever for the department, includes chainsaws, helmets, digging and pumping equipment, low-pressure air bags, and pneumatic jacks and dividers to assist firefighters in rescuing victims of cave-ins.
