Fire Stations & Equipment

Fire Department Equipment Overview

Our fire department uses a variety of specialized vehicles to handle every kind of emergency.

Engines:

• Engine 3 is a 2016 E-One Pumper that holds 1,000 gallons of water and can pump 1,500 gallons per minute. It serves as a first-response medical unit and is licensed by the state for this purpose.

• We have 5 advanced life support (ALS) ambulances in service, with one on standby. They are equipped with state-of-the-art cardiac monitoring and other gear for critical patients. All medic unit staff are cross-trained as firefighters.

• Squad 2 & 10: These are multi-purpose units used for high-impact medical calls, structure fires, and rescues. Also equipped with 250 gallons of water and a foam system for fighting grass and brush fires.
• Quint 2 & 10: These vehicles feature a 75-foot aerial ladder for rescues and fire suppression. They carry 500 gallons of water, ground ladders, and tools like the Hurst "Jaws of Life." They are also licensed as medical first responders.
• Heavy Rescue Truck: An all-purpose unit that provides critical support. It has the "Jaws of Life" for extrication, a mobile air-filling station for breathing cylinders, and a large generator for scene lighting.
• Tankers: These trucks carry 1,800 gallons of water and are crucial in areas without hydrants. They can rapidly dump water for other fire apparatus to use.

Command Vehicles:

• Battalion Chief Units: These units are used by shift supervisors to provide on-scene command and control. They are equipped with advanced radios and computers to manage emergency incidents.
