Forestry Apparatus

		Forestry 1 Forestry One is a 1960 Dodge Power Wagon 4x4 brushfire truck.  This unit is known for its ability to go anywhere.  It features a 220 gallon water tank, a gear pump, PTO winch, and various handtools.  It carries a large amount of small diameter hose and several backpack style pumpcans to reach the head of any brushfire.  The truck's motor and body were overhauled by department personnel in 1991.  Forestry One has been fighting brushfires in the Brookfields for over forty years and will hopefully be on the fire line for another forty.  This truck is truly irreplaceable.

Forestry 2 Forestry Two is a 1986 GMC 1 ton with a 220 gallon water tank and a 400 gallon per minute gasoline powered water pump mounted on a flatbed body.  The truck itself was originally a Highway Department dump truck and was outfitted for Fire Department use in 1996.  Hose reels, storage compartments, an extended front bumper, and an electric winch were also added to the truck by Fire Department personnel to complete its transformation to the fire service.  Forestry Two is first due for all brushfires and utility wire calls.

		Tanker 2 Tanker Two is a 1979 all wheel drive AM General 5 ton military surplus truck placed into service as a forestry tanker in 2001.  This unit was converted for fire service use by the members of the Brookfield Fire Department. A 1,200 gallon water tank, a gasoline powered water pump, a PTO winch, hose reels, lights, and a port-a-tank were installed.  The truck was equipped using old equipment from other vehicles and other sources at a minimal cost to the town.  Placing Tanker Two in service ended the practice of sending structural fire apparatus off road  to fight brushfires.  Fire Engines became stuck and were damaged while performing tasks that they were not designed for.  Tanker Two is able to provide a reliable supply of water to the smaller forestry units operating at brushfires without committing engines to the scene.
