Vehicles
Unit 385, a 1992 Ford Ambulance, sold to us by Tri-State Ambulance. 385 is the primary response unit, containing needed basic equipment for most calls, including oxygen, backboards, portable suction, and an AED (automated external defibrillator). We also carry some basic rescue equipment, including a portable generator, built-in inverter, water/ ice rescue gear, helicopter landing zone markers, vehicle stabilization/ entry equipment, traffic control/ direction supplies, and spot & flood lights.
Unit 386, a 1991 Surburban is 4-wheel drive, and has a trailer hitch for pulling the boats. 386 has basic medical supplies, including oxygen, backboards, portable suction, and additional water/ ice rescue equipment, as well as additional protective clothing, blankets, and traffic control/ direction supplies.
Watercraft
Both boats carry various rescue equipment, including basic medical supplies, rescue gear (rope throw bags, throwable floatation, reach pole, water rescue/ immersion suit), extra pfd's, spotlights, blankets, tarps & ponchos, maps, paddles, and fire extinguishers. Depending on the type of incident, additional equipment from 386 is utilized in the boats, including oxygen, additional backboards, and other needed supplies.
Unit 387, a Lund v-hull boat, with 90hp Honda Outboard.
In addition to the above supplies, 387 carries a folding floating backboard.
Unit 388, a flat bottom boat, with 35hp Go-Devil Motor.
388 is our newest addition to the fleet, and due to the nature of the boat, as well as the surface drive motor, allows us to access areas we are unable to reach with 387 (due to weeds, shallow water, etc.). Along with the above equipment, 388 carries a flambeau pole (push pole) to allow us to manuver in very shallow water.
