Apparatus must be reliable to transport firefighters <br />and equipment rapidly and safely to an incident scene. Such vehicles must be properly <br />equipped and function appropriately to ensure that the delivery of service is not compromised. <br />For this reason, they are very expensive and have longer lead times. They also offer little <br />flexibility in use and reassignment to other missions. <br />The vehicles listed below are well maintained but in varying degrees of condition.
