Engine
108 entered our service in 1998. It is a Pierce-built Class A pumper
on an International chassis. Designed as a quick-response vehicle, 108
carries only three firefighters; in a pinch, she can be operated by
one or two qualified responder(s) using a booster line and the large
800 gallon on-board water tank. If additional manpower is required,
they arrive on engine 107 and can be put to work deploying the 1-3/4"
pre-connected or the 2-1/2" attack lines loaded on 108, or deploying
the resources of 107.

In
addition to carrying considerable tank water, 108 is equipped with on-board
foam, four Scott 4.5's, forcible entry equipment, a selection of extinguishers,
a defibrillator, first aid supplies and both low-band and 800 MHz radios. |

Since
Bellerose Village Fire Department's core Firefighting strategy is quick
response and quick water, engine 108 was built specifically for that
purpose, and is our first-due response vehicle.
