Engine 101

Engine 101 is the latest engine to go in service. As a twin to Engine 1, she sports the updated colors and striping. Engine 101 responds in tandem with Truck 1 to all calls. Together, these two trucks are referred to as Light Force 1 and make up the backbone for the department's SOP. A light force can be very flexible in a fire scene because the crew has the equipment to take up any task given by the incident commander.
