PUMPER TRUCK—Purchased in 2007, this truck is designed primarily for fighting structure fires. Our truck carries 1000 gals. of water and includes a state of the art foam system used to extinguish structure fires using much less water. When it is possible to use the foam system less water damage occurs to the structure. There are a limited number of these trucks in the county.  

ASVFD Trucks

Tanker—Our 2005 tanker truck on a Kenworth chassis transports 2500 gallons of water to the scene of a fire.  This truck carries a 3000 gallon portable water tank that is deployed at the fire scene.  The tanker truck dumps its water cargo at the fire scene.  This water is then available for other firghfighting trucks to use while the tanker leaves to refill and return to where the water is needed.  This truck was purchased with a 90/10 grant from FEMA.

Grass and Brush Fire Trucks— ASVFD operates two grass fire trucks purchased in 2001 (red) and 2004 (white).  These trucks are able to operate in open pastures while firefighters douse flames on the go from the bed of the truck.  These trucks refill their water tanks either directly from the tanker truck or its drop tank, as well as from any available water department fire fill.  The Red Truck is also equipped with a basic foam system to enhance its’ brush and small structure fire fighting ability.

Emergency Response Van—This vehicle purchased in 2003 serves a number of functions.  Most emergency medical equipment and supplies are carried in this vehicle.  While on the scene of a major fire, it serves as a command vehicle, and maintains communications with other fire departments as well as county dispatchers.  Additional SCBAs (Self Contained Breathing Apparatus) and spare oxygen tanks are also transported to the fire scene in this vehicle.
