Fire-Themed Events
Wicktonville Fire Department ~ Engine 2

1976 Ameican LaFrance Century Series 50-foot TeleSqurt
Quint 53 (as Engine 528, we think) retired from Washington state after serving two for 34 years total.

Quint 53 seats two riders in the rear-facing jump cab, and two in front with the driver. It carries 500 gallons of water, and pumps 1,500 gallons a minute. The hose and ladder areas can also be used for additional passengers for parades.

1977 Ameican LaFrance Century Series Pumper Engine
Engine 2 (as Engine 143) retired from a New York City suburb after 28 years.

Engine 2 seats four riders in the crew cab, and one in front with the driver. It carries 500 gallons of water, and pumps 1,500 gallons a minute. The hose area of the engine can be used to seat additional passengers for parades.

Wicktonville Fire Department ~ Quint 59

1981 American LaFrance Century Series 75-foot Water Chief
Quint 59 (working as Truck 241) served in Northern California until it was retired in 2006.

Quint 59 seats three passengers, plus the driver. It pumps at a rate of 1,500 gallons per minute, from the ground or atop the 75-foot ladder. For parades, we can fit about 12 riders sitting or kneeling along the top ladder.

Wicktonville Fire Department ~ Truck 61

1983 Mack Tractor-Drawn Aerial (aka Tiller or "Hook-and-Ladder")
Truck 61 (previously Ladder Truck 611) retired from Southern California after nearly 25 years of service.

Truck 61's working 106-foot ladder gives a long reach to every job, and carries equipment to support most others, including a large generator and six large scene lights. It carries three passengers along with the two drivers needed for this truck, and can carry a whopping 12-15 more adults in parades along its ladder.

Wicktonville Fire Department ~ Engine 3

1988 Emergency One Cyclone Pumper Engine
Engine 3 (as Engine 2) left North Carolina after 22 years of service, and joined us in early 2010.

Engine 3 seats four riders in the crew cab, and two more in front with the driver. It carries 500 gallons of water, and pumps 1,500 gallons a minute. Engine 3 is the most modern of all our vehicles, and has been updated for current standards of LED emergency lighting and safety markings.

Wicktonville Fire Department ~ Tower 43

1989 Ford E350/Horton Fire Rescue
Rescue 71 came from Framingham, Massachusetts, originally as an ambulance.

Rescue 71 primarily supports the other trucks when additional items or gear are required, or when we need to bring up to five additional crew members along. However, if you have a specific need that Rescue 71 can assist in meeting, the truck is available as a stand-alone vehicle as well.
