multitude of equipment such as water, attack hose line and supply line, specialized tools, EMS gear and a
second set of auto extrication equipment. The configuration of the storage compartments on each piece of
apparatus is kept similar.
Lighting Plant
The Lighting Plant is used for various things, from lighting the scene of an incident to make it safer and easier
for rescue personnel to operate, to town wide functions at night that require the extra lighting.
UTV
This is the “UTV” – Fire, Rescue EMS Utility Vehicle, capable of getting into areas our larger equipment may
be unable to access. For town events and functions, the UTV can be staffed with 2 Fire/EMS personnel and
EMS equipment for quick response, and can be used off road to get into parts of Wayland not easily accessible
by larger vehicles to move someone who is injured or ill without being delayed by carrying them out. Utilizing
the utility bed seen below, it can be used to transport equipment in and out of areas where brush fires are being
fought or on the section of rail trail that goes through Wayland.
Station 2 Rescue Boat
The Rescue Boat out of Station 2 is designed to aid in the rescue of someone in the water. The flat hull of the
boat makes it more stable for rescuers to move around in while moving and stationary. The scoop on the front
end flips into the water when needed to aid rescuers in the water with getting victim’s into the boat more easily
rather than having to pulling them up over the side. Kept inside the boat are personal flotation devises (PFD’s),
rope and dry suits (Mustang Suits) that keep rescuers afloat and warm during any cold water rescues.
Forestry 1
Forestry 1 out of Station 1 is Wayland’s “brush truck”. F-1 is a Ford F-450 with a pass through tool box
mounted behind the cab and a flatbed that has a water tank and pump mounted on it. There is a hose reel with
forestry line on it and more hose stored above the water tank. Equipped with various tools for fighting
brush/forest fires, this vehicle is perfect for driving off road with plenty of equipment to help firefighters stop
and extinguish fires.
Car 2
Car 2, a Ford Expedition is the shift commander’s vehicle and responds to any and all emergencies in town.
Equipped with EMS gear, various tools, and a multi-gas meter, it also serves as a command post to aid in large
incidents.
Car 3
Car 4 is a Ford F-350 utility body, all purpose vehicle for the Fire Department. With EMS gear and work lights
mounted on the rear, Car 4 can be used at any incident to move equipment and personnel. For an incident that
may go on for an extended period of time, such as a house fire or brush fire, Car 4 is also used to bring rehab
supplies to the scene for personnel.
Spill Containment Trailer
Stored at Station 1, this is Wayland Fire Departments Spill Containment Trailer. The trailer is stocked with
various tools and equipment utilized when there are chemicals that need to be absorbed or contained before they
harm the environment. Bags of speedy dry in the picture above, are abundantly kept on hand and are frequently
used to stop the flow of and absorb fluids spilling from vehicles that have been involved in accidents.
