CBFD Fast Response 1-2

The brand new Fast Response vehicles have now been placed in service! To assist with the ever growing number of EMS calls, Castle Beach Fire Department has placed these two fast response vehicles at Stations 1 and 2. These apparatus are not only equipped for EMS, but also for fire and rescue since the FRs have forcible entry tools, high rise packs, and a combi tool. The two FF/Paramedics that staff each unit can be utilized as needed during an incident. These nimble units were also designed to support technical rescue operations with use of the crane. Although not as large as the one found on the heavy rescue, these smaller cranes can assist in hillside rescues where the larger rotator cannot access.

 

Technical specifications:

2019 RAM 5500 4x4/BME

6.7 Liter Cummins Diesel Engine

325 HP, 750 lb ft Torque

Aisin® AS69RC 6-Speed Transmission

Maintainer EH4520 crane

Onan 20 kW generator

NightScan Profiler light tower
