Squad 2

Squad 2 is a 2000 Ford Explorer 4x4  assigned to the Fire Chief.  This vehicle was donated to the department from a town resident in 2006 in order to replace a rusted out 1986 military surplus Chevy Blazer.  It serves as a command vehicle on fire scenes and has specialized radio equipment which allow us to better communicate with neighboring departments.

Air Trailer

This utility trailer was obtained through a military surplus property program.  It has been outfitted with large capacity high pressure tanks of breathing air used to refilled air packs at a fire scene.  It also has storage space for spare air bottles, and can be towed by any of our 4 wheel drive vehicles.  The cascade tanks on the trailer are refilled back at the fire station using a specialized air compressor.  Both the compressor and the cascade system were purchased using money obtained from grants.
