Apparatus Bay
We have one aide/rescue vehicle, two structure engines, four wildland fire engines (known as brush trucks), one water truck (known as a tender in fire service terms) and one command vehicle. Of the four brush trucks: two are at the main hall in Lyle, one is at our satellite station on Burdoin Mountain and the other is preemptively situated on Canyon Road. The tender, main engine and command vehicles work double and triple duty responding to structure fires, wildland fires and vehicle fires. We also have three permanently stationed 5000 gallon water tankers positioned strategically in the outskirts of the fire district.
We maintain such a large fleet of vehicles for two reasons: 1) they are needed to respond to the diverse call types we have and 2) we try to optimize our vehicle fleet to minimize your homeowner’s insurance.
