My wife & myself own a pair of Honda TRX450S. We ride with family, fellow firefighters, and firefighters from other departments. We have never used them for fire service, but we have provisions if needed.

Just bought my first quad, a Suzuki KingQuad 400 FS 25 Anneversary Edition with winch. Took it on my first trail ride on Friday and had a BLAST. I actually store my quad at the fire station-im gonna be living in the apartment above our current station so it just makes sence. I let my guys know that if they need it to let me know...

An old but strong '87 Suzuki LT500 'Quadzilla'. Both the Chief and I have quads but have never used them for anything other than play.

I ride a 2008 Suzuki King quade 750, VDI chip and a 2 inch extreme lift, 26 inch mud lites with warren winch that came with it when I bought it. I have been riding quads ever since the trikes went out. I use mine for play, hunting and fishing in those hard to reach areas. I ride with family and my fellow Fire borthers. The last time I went out with the guys was to the center of Alberta in Aug, but have been on a few adventures since. One ride I found out just how deep of water I can't go in..... snorkel kit going in soon :) I will post some pics soon.
