Pumper 61 This 2003 International is our backbone truck. containing about 1100 Imp. gallons of water the truck can either pump directly from the tank or can dump its water in to the porta-tank and the firefighters can use the 30 HP portable pump to fight the fire while the truck heads out to the nearest lake or river to reload. |

Tanker 62 The new 62 arrived on June 28, 2010. This truck carries 3,000 Imperial Gallons (about 13,000 Litres) of water. The truck is designed to be loaded by 3 portable pumps (1 18 HP pressure pump and 2 trash pumps). It carries 2 portable tanks that are set up at the fire scene. The dump chute has a swivel allowing the two porta-tanks to be filled without moving the truck. There is also a 6" outlet that allows a pumper to suction the tank without setting up the porta-tanks. This truck replaces the 1979 Ford tanker that has served the Department for many a year. |

Equipment Truck 68 Also a 4 wheel drive truck, this truck carries our Jaws of Life, generators, extra pumps and forest fighting gear. |
