Engine 54-4
1990 White AutoCar Engine
Engine 54-4 serves primarily as a rural water supply unit. With the lack of hydrants over 95% of our first due area, Engine 54-4 takes advantage of alternative water sources (i.e. ponds, reservoirs, creeks and/or rivers), and carries enough supply hose to reach a site over a 1/2 mile away from the water source. Engine 54-4 is also equipped to assist with wild land fires and is often used to provide mutual aid to neighboring stations.
Equipment highlights:
1750 GPM pump
750 gallon water tank
3600 feet of 4" supply hose
2 pre-connected 2" attack lines
1 pre-connected 3/4" forestry line
Ladders, hand tools, spare forestry line
Three 6" intake/suction connections (two side mount, one nose mount)
5 person crew capacity
