Pumper/Engine E-60-14
1993 E-1 Cyclone This is customarily the first truck out to a house fire or other type of structure fire. The initial hand lines come off of this truck and it is usually the center of operations. It carries 1500 gallons of water, foam, and has a 1250 gallon per minute mid-ship pump along with a top mount deck gun. At a fire when many hand lines are taken off the truck, it usually is pumped dry in 3-5 minutes. This is also the truck that responds to a mutual aid call if we are asked to provide an 'Engine & Crew'. It is equipped with Self Contained Breathing Apparatus(SCBA) mounted in the seat backs so the firemen can put this equipment on as they are responding to the call. The mid-ship pump allows the pump operator to be stationed on the top deck which allows him a good 360 degree view of the fire scene.


M-60-13
1987 GMC This is a medical equipment and utility truck. We take this to medical calls as it has the AED and other medical equipment. We take it to public service calls such as cellar pumps and spills as it carries a portable pump and speedy dry. We also take this truck to 'Tree & Limb' down calls as well as 'Downed Wire' calls as it is equipped with chain saws, shovels, rakes, and hand tools. It has emergency scene lighting and Indian tanks which are water backpacks with hand pumps the firemen can fill with water and hike into a brush or forest fire where the truck hose lines can not reach. We also have a Stokes basket and other search and resue equipment on this truck. Due to it's multiple uses and equipment, this truck goes to just about every call we get.


E-60-10
2007 KME This is a Class A pumper and is mostly used at car accidents and brush fires. It has a booster line which is a hard rubber hose line that is quickly pulled of the truck and used. It is then easily rolled back onto the truck mechanically and does not have to be drained and cleaned first. This truck carries the 'Jaws of Life' auto extrication tool and air bags/blocks that our crews can use to cut apart cars, remove vehicle roofs, bend back metal, etc. to extricate people trapped in vehicles at car accidents. The air bags and blocks can be used to lift vehicles off of victums as well as to secure the position of vehicles so the firemen and paramedics can work in and around crashed vehicles. It also carries portable pumps, generators, and as assortment of hand tools as well as emergrency lighting and chimney flares. It has a 1500GPM pump and carries 1000 gallons of water.


TANKER T-60-12
1997 Freightliner This is a tanker truck that has a 1250 gallon per minute pump and carries 2000 gallons of water. This truck leaves the firehouse second and is mainly used to supply the engines and pumpers with water. It carries an assortment of hand tools, emergency lights, etc. It can also be used as a pumper if other equipment is tied up or in for repair. This is the truck we take to mutual aid calls when we are asked for a 'Tanker & Crew'. This truck also has Self Contained Breathing Apparatus(SCBA) and a rear hose line. It also has a 10" dump valve.
