 A Type V wildland brush truck was placed in service on Oct. 1 by the Mulvane, Kan., Fire District No. 12 built by Emergency Fire Equipment on a Ford F-550 cab and chassis.

The apparatus was purchased as a joint venture with Mulvane providing the 4x4 cab and chassis and Fire District No. 12 paying for the brush body improvement. The cab and chassis was part of a recently de-commissioned rescue truck with only 19,000 miles on it.

The apparatus has a 400-gallon water tank, a Hale Foamlogic 2.1 foam system and a 12-gallon foam tank, a Hale pump, TFT remote wildland monitor, a Elkhart ground cover nozzle, Whelen LED lighting, preconnected 1.5-inch hose, and 1-inch forestry lines.

The apparatus was partially funded through a Forestry Volunteer Fire Assistance Grant.
