SLEC Fleet

SLEC is located at the foot of Sugar Loaf Mountain and serves the CFD with Engine 911 a KME front line pumper and the Departments F.A.S.T. engine.

Tanker 922 is a 3000 gallon water shuttle. It can "dump" it's contents in just a couple of minutes to a portable pond and also has full firefighting capabilities.

Just like the other companies in the CFD SLEC has a 1950's era bulldog of a brush truck in M-912. Dubbed the "Rat Patrol" by company members this work horse can go just about anywhere.

The Departments All Terrain Cycles, ATV-1 & ATV-2 are housed at SLEC as well as the Fire Police Company's M-918 Scene Support Vehicle.
