Type 1 Structure Engine

A Type 1 Engine is designed and equipped to handle many types of emergencies.  Specifically, it carries the hose, water and pump necessary to extinguish any type of fire that can be accessed from paved roads. It also carries the necessary tools and equipment to mitigate just about any other emergency that the fire department responds to: medical emergencies, vehicle accidents, rope rescues, hazardous material incidents, public assists and much more.

Type 3 Wildland Engine

A Type 3 Engine is specifically designed and equipped to handle fires that occur in the wildland setting. They carry the hose, water and pump necessary to extinguish fires that require “off-road” capabilities, in order to access. A Type 3 engine is smaller and lighter than a Type 1 Engine and usually is equipped with 4-wheel drive.
