ENGINE 82
This is our first out engine for all structure related calls and for all motor vehicle accidents. Engine 82 is a 1998 KME Custom Pumper. It has a 1000 gallon tank and a 1250 gpm pump. It carries three crosslays one of which is preconnected to foam. Rear seating capacity is six, with room for 5 persons (including officer seat) to pack-up in full SCBA. Engine 82 carries ladders, forcible entry tools, hose appliances, flue poles, and some extraordinary equipment. It is equipped with a complete set of Hurst power tools, a Bullard Thermal Imaging Camera, and an Lifepak 500 AED. As well as being a first out pumper, it is also licensed to run as a Basic Life Support (BLS) First Responder Unit.
ENGINE 84
This unit runs as our second out engine and can run as a first out engine when needed. Engine 84 has a 1250 gallon tank and a 1000gpm pump. It has a five passenger cab with jump seats for one officer, and three firefighters. This unit carries the usual fire suppression equipment for fighting structure and vehicle fires, and can be used to house the Hurst tools when Engine 82 is out of service.
ENGINE 80
Formerly a first out engine, this units primary function is to respond to brush and forest fires. It still has the pump capability to respond to structure related calls. Recent renovations to Engine 80 include repairs to the fire body, a paint job, a major pump overhaul and the addition of a dump tank.
RESCUE 87
This unit serves as our primary response to first responder calls, with the exception of motor vehicle accidents, in which Engine 82 provides initial response. Rescue 87 is licensed Advanced Life Support (ALS) Non-transport. The purpose of this unit is to provide initial patient stabilization and treatment until the arrival of the Rescue Squad. This unit was purchased with funds provided by The Alleghany Foundation.
