ATTACK 5

Equipped with an AWD drivetrain, the Attack is capable of reaching the more remote areas of our territory and surrounding areas to perform both structural firefighting, wildland firefighting, and structural protection. The Rig is also set up with a light compliment of extrication equipment in the event of a hard to reach Extrication call.
BRUSH 5

Brush 5 is our wildland unit primarily tasked with responding to brush, grass, and mountainous terrain fires. The small and nimble 4wd chassis allows for access to even the most hard to reach areas. The Brush can also double as a structural firefighting piece, in the event of terrain or a bridge that the Engines cannot cross, by attaching structural line as well as being adequately supplied by an Engine Company.
TANKER 5

Tanker 5 is tasked with water supply. Be it water shuttles, drafting and running the fill site, or simply being plumbed into the fire attack truck, the Tanker is there to make sure water is delivered. Capable of carrying two Firefighters, the truck is also equipped with SCBA so the passenger can be attached to another unit to perform fire suppression duties.
