CBFD Engine 11

Castle Beach Fire Department Engine 11 was formed in late 2018 to address the needs of an additional station in the eastern part of Castle Beach where vegetation and brush areas could ignite. Station 11 is now home to Engine 11, Wildland 11, and Fast Response 11. Engine 11 was purchased used from the local Pierce dealer back in 2016 and was originally designated as Engine 208 before transitioning to Engine 11. The apparatus is one of three frontline engines with All-Wheel-Drive capabilities and a raised suspension. A unique feature of this rig is the bumper mounted Akron monitor, which is useful for fighting brush fires. Since Station 11’s response area is predominately hilly areas with plenty of vegetation, this apparatus gives homeowners a vote of confidence to prevent brush fires from ravaging their homes.
