In August of this year I was at the Clark County Fire Department Open House at Station 14. I ran into a guy who is running a Non Profit organization called the Angel Fire Department. The department started as a project for one of his closest friends who's son loves Fire Trucks and firefighters, and sadly his son has brain cancer.

 

Last month I joined the Department. Now we do not fight fires but what we do is help those children with Traumatic Brain Injuries, Cancer, and other illnesses that may end their life.

 

The Department founder is a Retired Boston Cop and current Naval Reservist, and most of the members of the department are Retired Career Firefighters or former Volunteer Firefighters.

 

Here is Angel Fire Department Engine 1

 



 



 

This photo show's two Clark County Fire Department Explorers using the Deck Gun on Engine 1.

 

I looked and could not find a thread for Smeal Fire Apparatus. I though I would lead off with photos of three of the new Las Vegas Fire and Rescue Rigs.

 

Lets start with Engine 201.

 



 



 



 



 



 

 

 

 

Couldn't find any thread on the apparatus of the fire departments in Washington County, MD. The departments have some really neat pieces, and I hope I can share and see the work of others.

With that said,

Hello all,

 

      For those of you on heavy rescue or extrication apparatus what grade, lengths and accessories for rescue chain do you carry on your apparatus. Also how is it stored for easy deployment/maintenance. My department is in the process of setting up a tac support/extrication unit on a light duty squad and i am looking for more ideas and information on how to stock the unit.

 

Thanks in advance,

Hello all,

 

    Been a while since I posted but hopefully be back in the swing of things soon. My department is looking at putting together an extrication/tac support unit together on a light duty rescue. I am looking for ideas and pics for maximizing the storage/compartment space utilizing slide out trays as well as fixed shelving. Any ideas and pics are welcome.

 

Thanks in advance,

I learned to drive fire apparatus on the 1995 E\-One posted below (and it's twin). I love the Cyclone chassis. Please, if you have pictures of E\-One fire trucks, share them in this thread! 

 

It can be E\-One front to back or a different chassis on an E\-One body.
