What builds a firetruck?🚒 So much more than a truck goes into making the apparatus that rolls into your time of need. Every truck has minimum equipment standards from state and national authorities that must be met before it can ever be placed in service.

Not to many years ago, equipment from one truck would not be reused on a new apparatus. It would often be placed on other trucks, or into storage and new equipment would be bought. With the price of equipment and tools these days, Company 46 has determined to reuse as much equipment as possible on Ladder 46. This decision saves us thousands of dollars in donations and operating capital to be used for other needs.

While the boys are out making sure Ladder 46 is fit for duty. Members are at the station cleaning, servicing and inspecting every piece of equipment to be repurposed. A critical part of that is readily identifying our equipment. With every fire truck in the area having the same equipment on them. It’s important to be able to place things in their right place.
