Apparatus

ENGINE 51

The Fire District operates a fleet of 7 Fire Engines and Tenders for Fire Suppression capabilities and 2 Medic Units for EMS patient care.

Currently the District puts money away every year in it's equipment reserve fund to be able to purchase apparatus without asking the voters to pass equipment bonds, however, equipment prices are quickly out-pacing our reserve fund totals and other funding avenues are sometimes used to purchase apparatus. In past years the District has been given an ambulance and purchased a used engine from Hermiston Fire District and just recently acquired a FEPP engine from ODF. These opportunities has allowed the District to stretch our budgets further and helped save thousands of tax-payer dollars.
