Unit | Description |
![]() |
L1 |
L1 is the department's main pumper/tanker. This truck carries turnout gear, SCBA's (self contained breathing apparatus), hose, nozzles, ladders, and miscellaneous hose fittings and adaptors. Not only does this truck serve as pumper, but also has a built-in water tank. The pump is also capable of injecting foam agents into the water which allows for faster knock down and fire suppression. |

L2 |
L2 is the department's water tanker. When full, this truck carries 3,000 gallons of water. The black tarp on the side of the truck houses a 3,000 gallon portable cistern. The cistern can be removed from the truck, set next to our pumper, with the water being unloaded within minutes. This allows the department to keep this truck moving to provide a constant supply of water to our pumper when fighting fires. |

L3 is the department's equipment and rescue truck. This truck contains turnout gear, extra air bottles for the SCBA units, extraction equipment (Jaws-of-Life) and self contained hydraulic pump to operate the equipment, generators, scene lighting system, radio, traffic control equipment and much more. |

L4 |
L4 is the department's secondary pumper. This truck contains much of the same equipment as L1. In addition, this truck has two high pressure hose lines. |
L6 |
L6 is the department's "grass fighter". It is the only truck with four-wheel drive. It has a small water tank and its own pump to keep weight low and allow access to areas otherwise inaccessible to the larger equipment. This truck also carries some rescue equipment and an automated external defibrillator, more commonly know as an AED. |
