A fire department's arsenal must be as diverse as the emergencies they confront, equipped to handle everything from towering flames to toxic disasters. The Colorado Springs Fire Department stands ready with an impressive fleet: 22 engine companies for rapid fire suppression, 1 HazMat unit for chemical threats, 3 medical squads for urgent care, and 1 heavy HazMat unit for large-scale dangers. Beyond this, they maintain 11 brush trucks to combat wildfires in rugged terrains, a decontamination vehicle for cleansing toxic exposures, an air supply truck to sustain operations in hostile environments, and a tube wagon designed to transport personnel during the most chaotic crises. This arsenal is their shield and sword in the battle to protect.
