Engine 108
 |
Engine 108
entered our service in 1998. It is a
Pierce-built Class A pumper on an
International chassis. Designed as a
quick-response vehicle, 108 carries only
three firefighters; in a pinch, she can
be operated by one or two qualified
responder(s) using a booster line and
the large 800 gallon on-board water
tank. If additional manpower is
required, they arrive on engine 107 and
can be put to work deploying the 1-3/4"
pre-connected or the 2-1/2" attack lines
loaded on 108, or deploying the
resources of 107.

In addition to
carrying considerable tank water, 108 is
equipped with on-board foam, four Scott
4.5's, forcible entry equipment, a
selection of extinguishers, a
defibrillator, first aid supplies and
both low-band and 800 MHz radios. |

Since Bellerose Village Fire
Department's core Firefighting
strategy is quick response and quick
water, engine 108 was built
specifically for that purpose, and
is our first-due response vehicle.
