Engine #1 - 2008 Velocity Pumper Tanker custom built by the Pierce Manufacturing Company. This vehicle carries a crew of 8: a driver and officer in the front, and 6 firefighters inside the crew cab. It carries 1000 gallons of water in a poly tank, and has a Waterous single stage pump rated at 1500 gallons per minute and a 6-cylinder turbocharged Cummins diesel engine rated at 420 horsepower. This truck carries 1200 feet of 4" supply hose, 3 pre-connected 1 ¾ interior attack lines and a top mounted Deluge gun capable of supplying over 1500 gallons a minute if needed. It is also equipped with a hydraulic ladder rack and has a Harrison 10 kw hydraulic generator.
Engine #2 - This Pumper Tanker is a Dash model custom built in 1995 for the district by the Pierce Manufacturing Company. Like Engine #1, it also carries 1000 gallons of water in a polymer tank, has a single stage Waterous pump rated at 1500 gallons per minute, and a 350 horse power Detroit Diesel turbocharged 6-cylinder engine. Engine #2 carries a crew of eight, a driver and officer in front, and 6 crew seated and belted in the rear. This vehicle also has a gross vehicle weight of 42,740 pounds.
Rescue/Engine #3 - Engine #3 is a 2001 Rescue/Pumper combination purchased by the Fire District to replace two vehicles in an ongoing effort to downsize our vehicle inventory. The Pierce Manufacturing Company built the truck on a Quantum chassis. It carries a crew of 8, and is a class "A" pumper. #3 carries 750 gallons of water in a polypropylene tank that also carries 50 gallons of foam in a separate divider. This vehicle is powered by a 774 cubic inch Detroit Diesel engine rated at 430 hp. It is equipped with a hydraulically powered generator rated at 25 thousand watts. It also carries a full compliment of rescue tools such as a Hurst tool, air bags, and numerous air and gasoline powered hand tools and rope rescue equipment, just to name a few. It is the first truck out of whichever hall it is housed at that month on a report of a structure fire and responds to all auto accident and rescue calls.
Light Rescue #7-1 - A 1993 Chevrolet Suburban ¾ ton, 4 wheel drive "Light Rescue" vehicle powered by a 454 cubic inch gasoline engine. Currently configured, it carries a crew of 5 along with EMS supplies, including an Automatic External Defibrillator. It is used to answer EMS calls where a full sized Rescue Vehicle is not needed, and to transport our members to schools of instructions, off road access and foul weather calls for assistance. Since putting this vehicle in service, it has taken a lot of the wear and tear from Rescue/Engine #3, greatly increasing its life span, lowering maintenance costs, and increased its resale value.
Ambulance - Built by PL Custom Emergency Vehicles, it is built on a 2009 Chevrolet Duramax 4500 diesel chassis. It carries a driver and officer in front, and depending on the nature of the call, two or three EMT's in the rear. This vehicle carries all of the equipment you would expect to find in an ambulance, including an Automatic External Defibrillator. We can transport 1 patient on a litter, and one or two others seated and belted, such as family members if necessary, or others that do not need to be transported on a stretcher. The unit was placed in service in October 2009.
