During rescue operations, the truck carries extrication equipment and other cutting tools. Vehicles and heavy objects can be lifted with air bags or other hyraulic equipment Wood and bracing equipment is used to stabilize a building that is collapsing or rescue a victim from a trench
Battalion 1
Battalion 151
The Battalion Chief is the commander of a battalion of 5 or 6 fire stations. During a fire or other major emergency, the Battalion Chief takes command of the incident to provide strategy and tactics, track all resources and personnel, communicate with dispatchers, order more resources, and coordinate with other agencies. These command vehicles include Mobile Dispatch Terminals (MDT), extra radios, rehabilitation supplies, decontamination equipment, and firefighting gear so the Battalion Chief can support the firefighters and be in the "hot zone" safely.

Engine 1/2
The water tank holds 20 gallons of water that feeds a functional deck gun.
Engine 1/2 started life as a Halloween costume for Ricky Marques, who always dreamed of being a Firefighter Ricky suffers from Cerebral Palsy and has spent most of his childhood confined to a wheelchair His uncle, a talented metal worker, constructed Engine 1/2 around Ricky’s wheelchair, helping him achieve his dream! With Engine 1/2 Ricky was able to participate in many parades in the Wheat Ridge area alongside the full-sized fire engines Eventually Engine ½’s body was adapted to a golf cart chassis
Now, Engine 1/2 continues to inspire aspiring Firefighters of all ages though Community Outreach programs hosted by the South Metro Safety Foundation Sponsorship for Engine 1/2 is provided by South Metro Fire Rescue along with other charitable donations from our community partners
