Upper Pine Fire has taken delivery of a heavy brush fire engine designed for use in the Urban Interface. The engine is equipped with a 500 gallon per minute, 2 stage pump which increases its versatility as it can fight a fast moving grass fire, pump larger volumes of water in long hose lays or if necessary make an attack on a house fire. It carries 600 gallons of water and 4 firefighters. Another unique feature of the unit is the front bumper mounted Sidewinder Nozzle. This device allows firefighters to attack fast moving fires from the safety of the cab. The nozzle can move up and down, left and right and change pattern from a fog to straight stream. There are many other uses for this device. A foam blanket can also be applied from this and any other attack discharge. This unit will be housed a Fire Station 1 in Bayfield. The second unit scheduled for delivery in late October will be housed at Fire Station 2 in Vallecito.
