Studington Fire Rescue Engine 11

Studington Fire Rescue is a department northeast of Los Angelego County and routinely runs mutual aid into Castle Beach Fire and other Los Angelego County municipalities. It is a collaborative effort started by Paulo R. and Anthony D. Currently, there are 14 members of this faction.

 

Engine 11 is the engine company for Station 11. The short wheelbase allows for the rig to maneuver in tight spaces. However, Engine 11 carries a full complement of equipment and is classified as a Type I Triple Combination. Furthermore, the rig is certified as a Type III urban search and rescue apparatus (basically means that it is equipped to conduct safe search and rescue ops at structural collapse of light frame construction and limited low angle rescue ops). Lastly, a paramedic is assigned to this rig every shift, making this an ALS certified rig. That's a lot of certifications!
