Engine 450 - 2010 Sutphen 75’/2000 gpm/500 gal.
Originally a demonstrator, this rig is often requested by surrounding districts (all of which run 100’ mid or rear mount ladder towers) due to its’ ability to fit in tight spaces. The department was so pleased with this rig that they received their second Sutphen in 2014 with the arrival of a custom rescue pumper. Seating six, it is outfitted with 1,200’ of 4” LDH supply line, a thermal imager as well as EMS equipment including an AED.

Squad 11 (Retired) - 2001 Ford F-550/Almonte Fire Trucks
This rig was rather unyque as the first Almonte Fire Trucks brand apparatus (a Canadian builder) I had ever photographed (one of only three to date). Sold to Saratoga County, New York in 2018, it was previously assigned for EMS first response, water/ice and rope rescue. While awaiting delivery of a Sutphen rescue pumper received in late 2014, this rig carried a small complement of Holmatro® extrication tools. Accordingly, it was backed up by automatic mutual aid with the response of the neighboring Latham FD's heavy rescue on all extrication calls. Seating six (including four with SCBA in the body), It was equipped with 300’ rope bags, a CO meter, submersible pump, EMS equipment and water rescue gear including
an inflatable "banana boat".
Fire Boat 11 ("Ronald B. Carey") - 2006 Harbor Guard Firehawk 800 gpm

Powered with a 450HP V8 motor, it features a fixed bow monitor, dive/recovery side access door, LED warning lights and center console mounted searchlights. It is equipped with 100’ of 1-3/4” attack line, 200’ of forestry hose, EMS and water rescue equipment.
