Fire Engines
Each Fire Station has one fire engine staffed by one Fire Captain and two Firefighter/Engineers. Fire Station 28 in Foster City has two fire engines. One member of the Engine Company is a Paramedic. Most of our Firefighters have special skills including, but not limited to, rescue systems, confined space, swift water, and hazardous materials.
Fire Aerial Ladder Trucks
We staff two, 100′ tractor drawn aerial ladder trucks, one out of Fire Station 21 and the other out of Fire Station 23. The trucks respond to all major incidents in the community. These trucks carry special equipment including “the jaws of life,” ladders, heavy rescue equipment, jacks, saws, pumps, and many other special tools. The truck is staffed by one Fire Captain and three Firefighters. One member of the Truck Company is a Paramedic.
