Big Bend Volunteer Fire Company 70 currently has these fine fire trucks and ambulance:
Structure Engine (E70)
Wildland Engine (E570)
Water Tender (WT70)
Medical Unit (Rescue 70)
Here are some pictures and descriptions of our equipment:
The 1996 Ford Pumper Truck boasts two 150 horse power pumps that can send water through four fire hoses at a high pressure and flow of 130 GPM.
The picture above is from Big Bend, TEXAS (just for fun)! The picture will soon be replaced by actual pictures of the real Big Bend, VFC 70 ambulance and fire station (in Big Bend, Shasta County, California). Do you have such pictures that we can use for this web site?
*NOTE: “Big Bend doesn’t have an ambulance per se. We have what is called a Rescue unit. It is limited in it’s abilities. We are only allowed to transport small distances when other ambulances can’t (like Burney A-17). On the other hand we have all been rigorously medically trained and can help quite a bit. Now that (in 2017, we have an additional) EMT (in training to be) a Para Medic, we will be able to help even more…”
