New truck now in service: Rescue 5   
       
Our newest apparatus is Rescue 5, an E-One heavy rescue / pumper that is loaded with rescue equipment.  It features an on-board and portable Hurst Tool System, commonly referred to as the "jaws of life", and is capable of powering 6 Hurst Tools simultaneously.  It also has both high and low pressure air bags to lift heavy vehicles, and numerous tools as well as a 500 GPM pump for fires.  It also has an air system, a 20 KW PTO-driven generator, and other items including light towers.
