Wildwood (NJ) FD, Boardwalk Deluge Unit F-396
1996 Jeep CJ-8 Scrambler
Having replaced a 1956 Willys CJ-5 that entered service in 1975 following duty with the Wildwood Beach Patrol, this compact rig provides the ability to place heavy caliber streams (both hand line and master stream) into service on the boardwalk and in the tightly packed streets where exposure control is of concern. It is outfitted with a fixed plumbed deck gun, dual rear intakes (one with Storz fittings, the other with an “FDC” type siamese) as well as a 3” large caliber hand line and 5” LDH supply line.
