The trucks, rescue units, and specialized gear our crews rely on every time the tones drop in Wea Township.
From structural engines to grass rigs and rescue units, each piece of apparatus is purpose-built for the calls we run across the township.
Engine 41 (formerly Engine 402) is our first-out apparatus for the majority of calls we respond to. It is equipped to handle most calls for service, including fire suppression, motor vehicle accidents, and miscellaneous fire calls. A light tower recessed into the top of the apparatus gives crews ample light during evening and overnight operations.
Tanker 41 is a 2023 Spartan and a near twin of Engine 41; both apparatus were purchased at the same time. It is second due to structure fires and our primary tanker for response. Because it seats four, it is also our primary response vehicle for mutual aid calls while carrying a full 3,000 gallons of water.
Brush 41 is our first-out apparatus for any field or grass fire. Built on a 2012 Ford F-550 chassis, it carries a 500-gallon tank and a 300 GPM pump, and it can reach the parts of the township's farmland that a full-size engine can't.
Rescue 41 is a 2007 Freightliner M2. For years it served as our first-out unit for motor vehicle accidents; today Engine 41 takes that role and Rescue 41 responds second out. It carries a full complement of rescue equipment, from backboards and stokes baskets to hydraulic cutters and spreaders, plus an onboard cascade system that lets us refill air bottles on scene.
