The Kenwall Heavy Rescue is a fire truck in Just Cause 2.

Description[]

The Kenwall Heavy Rescue resembles a modern Pierce Lance fire truck. It only spawns in red, and has no decals or markings to indicate its ownership.

In the PC version, the emergency lights and siren can be activated by pressing "Q". On the console versions, this is pressing the left stick.

The cabin can accommodate at least 4 people. It looks like there's a water pump built into the trucks middle section. The rear end is composed of equipment cabinets. There is an extendable 4-section ladder on the top, which doesn't actually work in the game. There's a water pipe built into the ladder system, which would probably extend with the ladder. The maximum height/length of the ladder cannot exceed that of about 3 sections, but that's perfectly fine for any buildings in the small towns where most of these trucks are parked.

Very unusually for fire trucks, it has no decals at all.

Performance[]

Very much like the URGA-9380, the Kenwall Heavy Rescue stays true to its name. It's a huge, heavy vehicle with a low top speed and only slightly better handling than an URGA, but plenty of torque, thanks to its massive engine. It's one of the best ways to tow cars and can be used for the Wrecking Ball Achievement quite efficiently in small settlements.

Unlike most vehicles, it doesn't drift at high speeds. It's very difficult to stop when it's moving down a steep hill, so ramming vehicles head-on is a funny but quick way of "braking". Despite its toughness, letting it crash into a gas station can make it explode if all pumps are destroyed in one crash. Any small vehicle like a Tuk-Tuk Laa or ATV will be blown away if hit at high speed and also if the truck is going downhill.

Locations[]

The Kenwall Heavy Rescue has a few set spawn points, and does not appear in traffic.

Trivia[]

  • The vehicle's name may be a parody of "Kenworth", an American truck manufacturer that does produce certain fire trucks.
  • About the siren:
    • In the beta, the truck might have had a different siren. As seen in the "Fire Truck VS. Jet" trailer.
    • The beta siren sounds similar to the siren used for Mafia II's police car.
    • This is one of only two vehicles with a siren that is not the Panau Military siren. The other is the Vaultier Patrolman, which was originally made for the Panau Police Department until they were cut with the vehicle being converted to a civilian car.
    • You can keep the sirens activated even after exiting the vehicle by going into a stunt position and jumping off. This works with every siren-equipped vehicle in JC2.
  • There are some Modifications that add this as well as other rare vehicles into the usual road traffic.
  • This is the only civilian emergency vehicle in the game. Just Cause also has only one civilian emergency vehicle: MacNamara Emergency III - an ambulance. This tradition is carried on in Just Cause 3 by the Stria Switzo Ambulance.
  • Since there is no evidence to suggest the existence of a Panau Fire Department (other than these trucks), and the vehicle occasionally spawns in presence of the military, the military could be their possible owners.
    • As mentioned before, this vehicle resembles a Pierce Lance, and as such they may have been purchased by the Panau Military from the United States. In-universe, their uses are unknown, but they could potentially be used by the military either for crowd control or for suppressing fires.
  • The truck's name in the Spanish version is "Unidad de rescate Kenwall" which literally means "Kenwall Rescue Unit".
  • It can normally never be seen in traffic, but there are some Modifications for the PC version of the game, that make rare vehicles like this one appear in traffic.
