This station has a 1998 Pierce, class 1 all-wheel drive Fire Engine, it carries 500 gallons of water, and has a 1,500 gpm pump along with standard structure fire fighting equipment. It seats four firefighters and is typically the engine sent when we have mutual aid resource requests during large scale wildland fires.

Brush 2 (5632)

Brush 2 is our largest capacity wildland fire truck, it carries 380 gallons of water and 20 gallons of foam. It has a mid-range pump capable of wildland fire attack, but can also be used for initial structure fire attack if needed. Functionally it is equipped to respond to wildland fires, but in this case it also has self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) and ladder for initial cabin fires, where a full size fire engine cannot make it up the driveway. Responders from this station also use this truck for responding to motor vehicle wrecks and other types of calls.

A 15,000 gallon cistern tied to a wet barrel hydrant is available near the intersection of Cold Springs and Hummer, and several dry hydrants are located along north Boulder creek and at private ponds in the area.
