Truck #1

Truck #1 is a pumper truck, but it also carries a lot more equipment. With this truck we have the capability to pump water from a Village fire hydrant, a porta-tank, or even direct from a water source such as a pond or river. We also carry a portable pump, which can be used to fill Tanker trucks in a Water Tanker Shuttle.

Truck #6

By far our smallest truck, Truck #6 is used primarily for quick response to grass and brush fires. The nature of these types of fires allows them to spread rapidly, so the faster we can arrive on scene, the greater the chance of a successful knock down.

Truck #7 is our Arial Ladder Truck. This truck gives us the ability to direct large quantities of water from directly above a fire scene, allowing us to knock down a structure fire from the exterior. The arial boom also contains a ladder, allowing our fire fighters to access tall structures from the safety of the ladder.
