The crew recently received a new and improved combi tool and hydraulic ram system from Fire and Rescue NSW's technical rescue section.

The equipment is lighter, stronger and more efficient than the gear previously used in rescues.

In recent times, the crew has been called to more motor vehicle accidents. Here, personnel support Taree Rescue Squad, which is the lead agency for a road crash rescue in the area, with the operation.

WATCH: Nathan and Peter use the combi tool and ram system on a car.

Deputy captain Nathan Cooke explained the features of the combi tool.

"It's more versatile, light weight and provides better capability for our firefighters in any road crash situation," Nathan said.

"It can be used in a spreading type action or a more enhanced cutting action."

The tool also has removal tips, which makes it more versatile.

The ram system is more durable and lighter than the former model.

"We use this in conjunction with the combi tool as part of our road crash rescue scenario, training and, of course, on the job," Taree Fire Station Commander Peter Willard said.

Features include a laser guidance pointer and built in LED lighting to assist the crew with accurate positioning.

The equipment is run on a dual action pump so both can be used at once.

"We don't need an operator on the pump anymore," Peter said.

"It's a single hose as opposed to a double hose and has an inner and outer section so it's much more flexible, safer and durable."

The pump ensures the crew can have a faster set-up of the equipment if it's needed at an accident.

During the visit from the technical rescue section, personnel were shown the difference between the old and new equipment and refreshed on crash rescue techniques.

Earlier this week, Nathan and Peter gave the Manning River Times a demonstration of the new gear.

They worked together to open a passenger door with the combi tool. The ram was used next to create enough space for a passenger if they were still trapped in the vehicle.
