Engine Company Apparatus

Engine 6-1-1 is assigned to Engine Company 1, the 'Every Ready Hose Company.' This 2001 KME has been a highly reliable workhorse for the Jamesport Fire Department and is routinely dispatched as the first-due engine for a wide variety of alarms.

Configured as a Rescue Engine, 6-1-1 responds to automatic alarms, motor vehicle accidents, structure fires, hazardous materials incidents, and gas leaks. The apparatus carries portable extrication tools for heavy rescue operations at vehicle accidents, along with a 5-gas and 4-gas meter to monitor hazardous atmospheres.

The engine is equipped with a 500-gallon water tank and foam capabilities, including dedicated foam containers and hoselines for flammable liquid and hazardous materials incidents. A non-intrinsic portable fan provides ventilation, and the rig carries spare SCBA cylinders and a full complement of hand tools to handle a broad range of calls.

6-1-1 offers four SCBA seats in the rear crew area, plus additional seating to accommodate extra manpower. Both the driver and officer positions are SCBA-equipped to support interior firefighting operations from the moment the apparatus arrives on scene.

Engine 6-1-2 is assigned to Engine Company 2, the 'Utility Hose Company.' This 2012 Pierce engine was built to Jamesport?s specifications and features a range of modern safety and operational enhancements compared to older apparatus in the fleet.

Originally designated as a Rapid Intervention Team (RIT) / Firefighter Assist and Search Team (FAST) apparatus for mutual aid responses, 6-1-2 now serves as a versatile engine, providing both manpower and 750 gallons of water for structural firefighting and support operations.

The rig features a rehabilitation capability, allowing the crew to manage cabin temperature during extreme heat or cold to support firefighter rehab following alarms. A hydraulic ladder rack system raises and lowers portable ground ladders and pike poles, improving safety and ease of deployment on the fireground.

6-1-2 also carries a portable generator for scenes without available power, supplying lighting and electricity for tools and other critical equipment. This combination of firefighting, RIT/FAST, and support features makes 6-1-2 a true ?utility? engine within the Jamesport fleet.

Engine 6-1-3 is assigned to Engine Company 3, the 'Pumper Company.' Placed in service in 2025, this Fouts FB-94 custom pumper is the newest addition to the Jamesport Fire Department engine fleet and was designed specifically to meet the operational needs of Jamesport and the surrounding North Fork.

Built with a modern pump module, large-capacity water tank, and efficient hosebed layout, 6-1-3 serves as a front-line attack pumper for structure fires, automatic alarms, and mutual-aid assignments. The apparatus provides full crew seating with SCBA positions to support interior firefighting from the moment the rig arrives on scene.

The engine incorporates contemporary safety and visibility features, including upgraded emergency lighting, scene lighting, and integrated storage for a wide range of forcible entry, ventilation, and overhaul tools. Pre-connected handlines and supply lines are arranged for rapid deployment, supporting both rural water operations and hydrant-based tactics.

Engine Company 3 includes members certified as Basic Life Support Emergency Medical Technicians (EMTs). In keeping with that mission, 6-1-3 is outfitted to support EMS responses with essential medical equipment, allowing the crew to provide immediate patient care while additional resources are en route.
