What kind of apparatus do you have on your facilities….. We have a 2000 American LaFrance, it carries 1000 gallons of water and 1000 gallons of class b foam. It has a 1250 GPM Hale pump with a feecon balanced pressure foam system.
With our current water supply at the plant we can pump over 3000 GPM.
Only down side, and that I hate is that the valves on the pump panel are electric, and are push button operated.

But oh well, I’ll be on a nozzle anyway and not operating the truck!

we are not as industrial as most so our apparatus look more like public types but they are ok

1993 Chevy/LDI step van (AKA hostess truck) It is for Hazmat and Command
1988 Chevy/Grumman firecat 1250 gpm/1000 tank
2004 GMC/Wheeled coach medium duty ambulance converted to a rescue. It is for confined space gear and extrication equipment
1996 chevy/AEV type II bls ambulance (we only transport to the medical dept not offsite)
1992 Chevy/E1 1000 gpm/750 tank engine this is our standby truck for the tracks it also has BLS supplies on it

2003 International Box truck (AKA SNAP ON tool truck). This is our HazMat and Command truck.
1981 Ford E350 14foot box truck. Suppose to be a search and rescue vehicle and back up to the HazMat. Last time it was out, we jumped it twice because it is a piece of junk. Soon to be replaced with a 2007 4wd F550 Crew with a walk around rescue body.

No fire apparatus on site. We don't do fires. Though we have some nice shiney clean turnouts!

Major Northeast Refinery {We manufacture Gasoline, Jet Fuel, Home Heating Oil, Racing Fuel} The On Duty Fire Marshals, Plant Protection Officers and a Plant Protection Supervisor make up the initial response of about 6-8 people depending on the shift. Additional resourses are pulled from with in the plant from various workers who double as firefighters or EMTs called by radio or pager.

Exact years are unknown but we operate:

2 Full size class A Pumpers
1 Tanker
1 Tele-squrt
2 Rescue Vehicles {One Box Bread Truck Style and a Larger Haz-Mat/Rescue}
Support Trailer
4 First Response Vehicles {Primary vehicles used by the on-duty fire personnel}

We also have an Emergency Response Supervisor and a Fire Chief - Fires, EMS Calls, Rescues, Haz-Mats, Etc...are handled by the on duty Fire Staff, Plant Protection Department Responders plus a supervisor. We have an Emergency Response Team that can be paged if an incident is larger than an on duty staff can handle.
