| Engine 65 |
|
Engine 65 is a 1995 Pierce Saber pumper. It has a 1,000 gallon per minute single stage PTO pump and carries 1000 gallons of water. Engine 65 has a full complement of structural firefighting tools, including ladders, chain saws and both Class A and B firefighting foam. To combat large fires, Engine 65 also has a truck mounted master stream nozzle, which can be removed and set up remotely if necessary. Engine 65’s pump configuration allows the pump to operate while the engine is driving (pump and roll capability) and this is beneficial for attacking wildland and field fires.
Engine 65 is dispatched on all commercial and residential fires in the fire district. It responds to a variety of other incidents determined by the location and type of emergency call received. Engine 65’s ability to respond is dependent on volunteer staffing levels. |

Rescue 65 is a Marion rescue on a 1985 GMC one-ton chassis. It carries a Honda power unit, which provides hydraulic power for a Hurst spreader extrication tool. Rescue 65 carries self contained breathing apparatus, positive pressure fans, saws, firefighting hand tools, external halogen lighting, a stokes basket and a bumper mounted Warn winch to provide fire and rescue support. It carries Intermediate Life Support medical equipment for home first-aid and rescue response medical needs.
Rescue 65 is assigned on all medical, rescue and vehicle accident calls that occur in the southern part of the Canby Fire District. It is dispatched in addition to career units from Station 62 and frequently moves up to Station 62 to increase manpower. Rescue 65’s ability to respond is dependent on volunteer staffing levels. |
