Scotch Plains Fire Dept Gets Flood-Fighting SHERP | Newark News

The Scotch Plains Fire Department just rolled out a game-changing SHERP all-terrain vehicle—built to conquer floods, snow, and rugged terrain. This six-person rescue machine floats through water, adjusts tire pressure for snowy trails, and clears downed trees in storms. After ditching pricey, single-purpose gear, they found the perfect fit for their local challenges. Just days after delivery, it saved lives during a major storm, proving it’s not just a wilderness tool—it’s now their frontline responder for floods, blocked roads, and stranded hikers. Funded by the township and insurance, this beast means they’re ready for whatever Mother Nature throws their way.
