Apparatus
Utility 1 (Call Sign: 28U1)
28U1 is a 2003 Ford F-350 with a primary mission of fighting brush and forest fires as well as responding to medical calls. The truck carries 150 gallons of water and a pump along with medical supplies.
28E2 plays multiple roles for the Department: it is the second due piece to any motor vehicle accident - supporting extrication and providing fire suppression capabilities - and is also a fully-equipped structural firefighting vehicle typically used at a water source to supply incoming tankers or other engines with water. Engine 2 was put into service in June '05
28R1 was purchased by the Department in June 2003 and was paid for almost completely via a federal grant program. 28R1’s primary mission is support of any operation involving life and/or environmental safety. This includes support for motor vehicle accidents, structure fires, search and rescue, hazardous materials, and medical responses requiring extrication. 28R1 is the first due apparatus for all motor vehicle accidents.
