50 Engine 3 is a 2-seat 1985 International pumper built on a heavy-duty 4X4 chassis.  This piece is primarily used as our water supply pumper.  Typically, this piece is placed at a pond or other nearby water supply and is used to fill tankers.  This engine carries no water, but has a 1000 gpm front-mounted pump.  Hose compliments include 1000' of 4" supply line, 400' of 2-1/2" supply line, and various other lengths and sizes of hose.  This piece is also used to carry our tactical rescue gear, due to its ability to cross rough terrain.  Tools carried include one stokes basket equipped with rescue from heights gear, various water appliances and adapters, hand tools, flashlights, and multiple lengths of hard suction for drafting out of ponds, rivers, or dry hydrants.
