CHAPARRAL 

WILDLAND-URBAN INTEERFACE BRUSH TRUCK | INITIAL ATTACK

The Chaparral is a fast, agile brush truck built for wildland and first-response calls with a behind-the-cab pump-and-roll fire attack position. It’s designed to be the first truck out of the station, allowing crews to size up the scene and make a quick initial attack. This truck is built for wildland but capable of any structure fire or emergency scenario.

MINUTEMAN

WILDLAND-URBAN INTERFACE RESCUE TRUCK | INITIAL RESPONSE | ALL-HAZARDS

The Minuteman is one of our most functional trucks. It acts as a small engine with its ability to carry equipment adequate for all possible fire scenarios while also utilizing the behind-the-cab pump-and-roll fire attack position. It is designed to meet the initial response needs for rescue, extrication, medical emergencies, wildland, and structural fire attack. It is extremely versatile with its ability to change functions at a moment's notice.

PATRIOT

WILDLAND-URBAN INTERFACE ENGINE | INITIAL RESPONSE | MID-SIZE 

The Patriot apparatus is typically installed on a mid-sized 4x4 chassis. It is essentially a larger version of the Minuteman, but does not carry the size of pump and tanks as the Gunfighter. It utilizes the behind-the-cab pump-and-roll fire attack position. The Patriot is highly customizable with a dual pump system carrying a minimum 800 gallon poly tank. It is a true interface engine.

GUNFIGHTER 

PUMPER TENDER | HEAVY 

The Gunfighter is a heavy pumper-tender with an available feature option that allows it to pump up to 1,200 gpm from its tank, allowing the hydrant to connect directly into the tank instead of the pump. This is important when the hydrant supply is not guaranteed or fluctuates. Like the Patriot, the Gunfighter is highly customizable. It is typically built on a chassis capable of carrying at least 60,000 lbs. This truck maintains its ability to perform as a wildland urban interface apparatus with the option of the behind-the-cab pump-and-roll fire attack position.
