2005 Hess Emergency Truck with Rescue Vehicle: The Double Rescue

The 2005 Hess Emergency Truck with Rescue Vehicle was the tenth fire-fighting themed toy released in the collection’s history and the fourth multi-vehicle set dedicated to emergency response. It featured a robust design where the main vehicle carried a deployable secondary rescue unit, combining size and speed in one heroic package.

Fire Truck and Friction-Powered Support

The 2005 set consisted of a highly detailed, single-unit emergency truck that functioned as the primary response vehicle, with the secondary vehicle stored in a hidden bay at the rear. It was built for high play value, with an emphasis on both lights and sounds.
