Engine 41
This engine is used primarily for fighting grass fires
and is used on most of our calls.
While this is not the ideal unit to use on a
structural fire it does function as an additional
water supply
for our structural fighting truck shown in the bottom photo. This is an ideal
truck for fighting grass fires due to its ability to pump water while in motion.
Engine 42
This engine is used primarily for motor vehicle
accidents due to its ability to
dispense a foam.
Foam is used to smother a fire that would normally chemically
react to the direct application of plain water. This engine is also ideal for fighting
grass fires
too due to its ability to pump and roll also.
This unit also contains our
“Jaws of Life” and other essential tools to aid us
in getting to a patient trapped
in a vehicle.
This unit is generally used on all calls because of its vast amount
of trauma ,medical and rescue equipment.
