Structural Apparatus

		Engine 1 Engine One is a 1987 Ford/Grumman fire engine that the town purchased used and placed inservice in 2000.  This engine replaced a 1955 American Laflance fire engine that desperately needed to be replaced after 46 years of use.  A used engine was purchased in consideration of the town's financial situation at the time.  Engine One has a 1,000 gallon water tank, a 1,250 gallon per minute pump, 1,200 feet of four inch supply line, and a diesel generator.  This unit can accommodate a crew of 5 firefighters in its open canopy cab.  It carries a full compliment of firefighting equipment including 5 self contained breathing apparatus, a ventilation saw, a pre-piped deck gun, a ventilation fan, and hand tools.  A medical kit and hazardous materials equipment are also onboard.  Engine One is the first due engine for all fire alarms.

Engine 2 Engine Two is a 2007 Spartan/Crimson rescue pumper.  This unit replaced a 1971 Maxim pumper.  Engine Two carries 1,000 gallons of water, a 1,500 gallon per minute pump, 1,200 feet of four inch supply line, and a hydraulic generator.  Up to six firefighters can be accommodated in the enclosed cab.  In addition to a full compliment of firefighting equipment, Engine Two also carries rescue equipment to handle a variety of emergency situations.  Hydraulic, pneumatic, electric, and manual tools are onboard to extricate victims after a motor vehicle accident.  Equipment to deal with medical and hazardous materials incidents are also onboard.  E-2 is the second due engine for all fire alarms and is the first due engine for car accidents, hazmat incidents, and rescue scenes.

		Engine 3 Engine Three is a 1983 Ford/Middlesex pumper.  When this engine was placed into service it replaced two 1947 Dodge pumpers.  It carries a 1,000 gallons of water, a 1,000 gallon per minute pump, 1,200 feet of four inch supply line, and a gasoline driven generator.  It can accommodate 2 firefighters in its enclosed cab.  Engine Three has worked very hard for the Department for over 25 years, and after work to its pump and a new water tank, is expected to continue to serve Brookfield for several years to come.

Tanker 1 Tanker One is a 1995 Freightliner/Conway 3,000 gallon water tender with a 400gpm gasoline driven pump.  Tankers are essential pieces of apparatus in providing a quick water supply in areas of town not protected by fire hydrants.  Tanker One carries a portable folding water tank that is set up at fire scenes.  The tanker dumps its water into the port-a-tank then heads off to be refilled and repeats the process until the fire is out.  Tanker One responds to all fire alarms out of the water district and responds out of town on mutual aid requests periodically.
