The 'old-timer' of the department, built by Hahn Fire Equipment and purchased from them in 1989. It is equipped with a 1250 gpm pump and carries 1,500 gallons of water. It is the first-due engine for brush fires and often responds to mutual aid requests for an engine. It is second due for structure fires in the district.
E59-20 is the newest member of the engine fleet. Purchased from Pierce Fire in 2000, it is equipped with a 1250 gpm pump and carries 750 gallons of water, as well as 20 gallons of class A foam and 10 gallons of class B foam, both of which are available from several dischages at concentrations adjustable from 0.1 % to 6%. This apparatus is set up as a rescue pumper, and carries the 'jaws', rescue ram, cribbing, mid pressure air bags and other rescue/extrication equipment, as well as haz-mat equipment and references. It is equipped with a Command Light light tower, with 1800 watts of light fully adjustable for height and direction. It is first-due at auto accidents and vehicle fires, including those on a section of the N.Y. State Thruway that we cover.
This is the 'big-boy' of the fleet, purchased from Pierce Fire in 1996. It carries 2,500 gallons of water on twin axles, with a 1250 gpm pump and a 10 gallon class A foam system to 2 discharges. This is an 'engine-tanker' , set up to function both as a tanker and a fully equipped class A attack engine. With its increased capacity, it is our first-due engine for structure fires in the district, and is frequently called for mutual aid in surrounding departments because of its large water capacity. It supports a Command Light of 1800 watts power, and like all of our engines, carries 5" large diameter hose, 1,000 feet in length, allowing it to move large volumns of water over long distances when needed.
This is our light rescue vehicle. It is a diesel powered four wheel drive, built on a 2006 Ford F350 chassis. It has a utility body replacing the standard pick-up body. Our EMS supplies are carried on this vehicle. In addition, we have set up a series of shelving in the station, each shelf stocked with supplies for various types of calls. Thus if we are responding for a water evacuation call, all the equipment needed for a water evacuation are found on one shelf, and can be immediately loaded into the back of this truck for response. This allows us to respond quickly, but without carrying the equipment around in the back of the truck at other times (thanks to Assistant Chief Collins for the idea of palletization of equipment for this piece of apparatus).
