Engines/Pumpers

Now I know that there are many many different setups/designs out there but I was wondering what everyones department uses for frontline pumpers/engines. We have a 2000 Pierce Contender. 1250gpm PTO Driven Pump (driver side controls), 1000 Gallom Tank, The Usual compliment of hoses and ladders. The truck is a Regular (Three man Cab) and a short wheelbase. One of or Mutual Aid Departments to the south has a Contender Pumper with a 1250 Gallon Tank a 1500 GPM pump and a top mount pump. However the difference between us is that they have Hydrants and wider roads/driveways then Us. We have 225 Sq Miles of Cabins, Forest, County Forest roads, Unimproved roads/driveways.Of all the calls in our three townships the majority of them happen down the longest roughest driveway/road around. Sorry for Rambling on.... Lets just talk Trucks... Justin out,

This one will be our new first out pumper tanker. She is being built now expected delivery is September. Right now we use a 1980's international pumper that only carries like 800 gallons on board (as long as none leaks out on the way there). She does the job (sorta) i guess.

We have several pieces of front line apparatus First is our 1992 Pierce Dash rescue pumper with close to 100,ooo miles on her. This truck is our first out at our station #1 900 gallons of wet stuff and foam, Rescue tools etc,etc. Secondly The picture of the American La France is a 2004 Heavy duty Rescue/Engine. We have two sisiter trucks ALFs both at our station #2 and Station #3. The Rescue/Engines have almost any thing you can think of which is nice when we are running multiple alarms during our shift. 1000 gallons of water, 60 gallons of foam with a full rescue compliment, swift water,rope repelling vehicle stabilizers, air bags, rams etc. We also have a hummer as a brush truck at Ones and a 2005 Sterling 2000 Gallon Tanker at our Two's. We also have a reserve 1981 Pierce pumper that still runs like a champ.
