My Station's E-One




Here is shot of our newest Engine. It is a custom built E-One Typhoon with a twelve-inch extension on the crew compartment we have 4 MSA Fire hawk air packs mounted in the seats in the cab plus the officer seat up front. The truck is equipped with a laptop for computer aided dispatch and there are voice-activated headsets at each seating position. The engine is powered by a 535-horse diesel running through an Allison automatic transmission. It has a 1000 gallon booster tank and is equipped with a 1500 gpm rated Hale pump with the Hale Foam Pro CAFS. We carry 3 preconnected 1’ 3/4 attack line,
a three inch blitz line, a deck gun, front 1 ½ trash line, booster reel and we use 5 inch LDH for supply. All the ladders and pike poles are internal with access gained off the rear. The best feature of all is the air conditioning, which is a lifesaver here in the southeast. I’ll post the shot from our web site and update with new one later this week.
