Brush Truck B45 - AWVFD

This 2022 F350 4x4 brush truck holds 450 gallons of water and the capability to use class B foam. It also contains equipment such as chainsaws, rakes, and shovels to gain fire access. It allows our firefighters to use different firefighting tactics and strategies to contain and extinguish grass fires. Supporting our district and the county with grass fires, brush trucks are lighter and more versatile than the engines, allowing water to be taken off-road, directly to the fire.

Our command vehicle is a 2021 F350 4x4. The on-call chief responds in this apparatus to major incidents such as fires, vehicle accidents, and rescues. It is in charge of running command on scene and monitoring the locations and duties of the personnel on scene to ensure the safety of our first responders.
