EQUIPMENT

Mako Air Compressor

This compressor is used to fill our SCBA bottles as well as our neighboring district's and community's. We can fill 4500 psi., 2216psi, and SCUBA used for underwater diving. With an adaptor hose we also fill cascade systems on Vehicles.

SCBA

We have 14 4.5 SCOTT SCBA packs with a spare bottle for each, these packs are mounted in our apparatus seat making for a quick and easy way to don them. They are all equipped with a built in PASS device that goes into alarm if a firefighter becomes incapacitated or gets trapped. Other feature they have are HUD (Heads Up Display) built into the masks, and voice amplifiers to make communications easier.

THERMAL IMAGER

We have two Thermal Imagers, there is a Bullard carried on the dog house of Quint 1 with a spare battery on charge. And on Engine 6 there is an MSA on the dog house with a spare battery on charge as well. The Thermal Imagers are use to seek out hot spots that could be hidden in partitions, ductwork, electrical panels, etc. They have also been use to search for people lost in the woods at night.
