This unit holds a crew of up to six and is staffed either with volunteers or 40-hour personnel. It's aerial platform can lift firefighters from below grade level to 102' in the air while flowing 1000 GPM. It also carries the largest assortment of ground ladders on the department, over 150' of them. It's 7.5 KW generator and multiple Quartz lights can turn day into night at any scene.

The Field Unit 9971
(1990 Ford F350 4x4)
Responding from Station #1, this field/brush unit was refitted with a "Mertz Fire Cracker" skid tank and pump in 2001. THe truck was set up to go where the larger apparatus can't, off road, and provide a solid firefighting punch once it arrived. It's pump supplies two hose reels with about 500 PSI and 7 GPM from the 250 gallon water tank. This relatively low flow allows the fireghters to stay and fight for longers periods of time than they had ever been able to before.
Equipment includes: Chain saw, rakes, shovels, swatters, and a winch.
