Wyoming, IA is a small town of 500 people in Jones County.  Wyoming has seven rigs.

 

First is a work in progress.  Members are converting their former rescue truck into a mini-pumper.  This is a 1985 Ford F350 that has had the rescue box cut down.  When completed, this rig will have a 250 gallon tank on board with a 300 gpm pump.

Wyoming's rescue rig is a 2001 Chevy 3500.  Box was done by Alum-Line in Cresco, IA.

Sorry to say this rig wasn't able to get out of the station.  This is Wyoming's 1978 Ford F800, body by Darley in Chippewa Falls, WI.  It has a 1000 gallon tank and a 750 gpm pump.  Two members tried for a while to get it started without success.
