50 Engine 2 is a 2002
Ferrara Fire Apparatus top-mount rescue
pumper built on an HME 6-seat chassis. Each seat is equipped with an MSA high
pressure self contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) with the exception of the
driver whose SCBA is carried in the lower compartment closest to the pump.
This engine carries 1000 gallons of water and has a 1500 gpm Waterous pump.
Hose compliments include two 1-3/4" preconnected attack lines, 1000' of 4"
supply line, 300' of 2-1/2" supply line, one 1-1/2" bumper-mounted
trash line, and one preconnected 2-1/2" attack
line. This piece is used as our on-scene water supply engine, as well
as our first-due piece for motor vehicle accidents.
Tools carried include an Amkus rescue system, consisting of a hydraulic
cutter/spreader tool, a hydraulic ram, and a portable gasoline power supply.
Hand tools, flashlights, exhaust fans, additional MSA SCBA, spare air
bottles, one 24' extension ladder, and one 14' roof ladder are also carried
on this piece. Ladder storage is through the tank, allowing for the
storage of a folding tank on the
passenger side. EMS equipment carried on this engine consists of two
backboards, a first-in medical bag, and an oxygen setup. This piece is also equipped with a PTO generator
used to power two quartz flood lights mounted just behind the pump panel
and a 100' 120V cord reel mounted in the pump compartment.
