Our department runs 9 vehicles: 2 structure engines, 4 wildland engines, a water tender, a command vehicle, and a wildland side-by-side, all maintained by volunteers.
Every engine, tender, and truck below is staffed, driven, and kept in working order by volunteers on their own time. Here’s what each one does for our community.
Our Type 1 engine, equipped with the Jaws of Life, vehicle stabilization equipment, and SCBAs. Runs 4WD with automatic chains for winter response.
A second Type 1 engine carrying a 900 gallon tank. Its shorter wheelbase and tighter turning radius make it useful on narrow driveways and switchback roads.
Carries 1,800 gallons and tows two 1,000 gallon portable tanks. An electric quick dump and a portable pump let the crew set up a water shuttle fast.
A 1,200 gallon tank built for pump-and-roll operations, with dual hose reels and an electric quick dump paired with a 1,000 gallon portable tank.
The newest wildland engine in the fleet. Pump-and-roll capable, with a foam system and a front winch for tough terrain.
Runs 4WD with foam nozzles and additional wildland firefighting tools for initial attack on steep, forested ground.
A vintage wildland engine still earning its keep on the department, with capabilities similar to 1113.
A nimble scout and utility unit carrying a water tank and hose for initial attack. Built for backcountry access where the engines can’t go.
Runs on-scene command with traffic control signage, cold fire extinguishers, first aid supplies, and an AED.
Our vehicles are only part of the story. The department also keeps 4 complete sets of ice-rescue equipment and an ice-rescue sled ready for winter emergencies on Flathead Lake, Jaws of Life for vehicle extrications, and multiple SCBA sets so more than one crew member can go into a structure fire at once.
Every engine, tender, and truck in this fleet is kept road ready by volunteers who show up on their own time. Your gift helps cover parts, fuel, and the maintenance it takes to keep 9 rigs mission ready.
