The first out apparatus for anything in the city is Engine One. It is also the first sent to any surrounding area that request our assistance. Engine One is a 1997 Pierce Quantum. It has room for up to seven personal. It has a 1500 GPM pump, a 750 gallon water tank, and a foam proportioning system. Engine One also has the EMS equipment to act as an ALS first responder unit. You may see Engine One responding with the medic units through out the city on EMS runs. One of the reasons for this is for added manpower. The medic units are staffed with 2 paramedics and the engine assists them with at least 3 additional paramedics.
