Houghton-1 (H-1)
The primary general response vehicle, Houghton-1 is a 1,500-gallon pumper-tanker built in 2003. The extended cab will transport five firefighters, four of which can don their SCBA enroute because they are mounted in their seats.
Houghton-6 (H-6)
Designed for specialized support roles and personnel transportation, Houghton-6 is a 1992 International rescue truck with an air cascade system for refilling SCBA tanks, "Jaws of Life" hydraulic cutters and spreaders, and a high-powered light tower for scene illumination. The extended cab, like H-1's cab, can transport five firefighters and has four seat-mounted SCBAs.
Houghton-8 (H-8)
The most commonly dispatched vehicle, Houghton-8 is a Type III ambulance built in 2000 to replace the previous ambulance which went out of commission after the August 2000 flood.
Houghton-9 (H-9)
One of only four aerial ladder trucks in the county and the only one in the northern half, Houghton-9 is an 85-foot aerial ladder truck with an elevated platform. The powerful 2,000 GPM pump can supply the volume of water needed at major fires, though its 500-gallon tank must quickly be supplemented with water from a hydrant system or a pumper/tanker relay. The aerial platform provides a safe and effective means of operating at the tall college buildings as well as providing roof access at residential structure fires.
