Apparatus
The Briaroaks Fire Department currently operates three class “A” Fire Engines, two Brush trucks, two Squad rescue vehicles, one Incident Command/Support vehicle, and one Hazardous Materials / Air Support Trailer. Engine 373 is an older unit that is used as a reserve Engine and a water tanker due to its 1500 gallon water tank.
Plan for Pets in Your Escape Plan
Include your pets in your home fire escape plan. Keep collars and leashes near the door for quick access. Place a pet alert sticker on a front window to let firefighters know how many and what types of pets are inside. If you must evacuate without your pet, tell the firefighters immediately.
Fire Extinguishers Have a Shelf Life
Most home fire extinguishers are good for 5 to 12 years, but they lose pressure over time. Check the gauge monthly to make sure it is in the green zone. If the needle is in the red or the extinguisher is expired, replace it. Remember the acronym PASS: Pull the pin, Aim at the base, Squeeze the handle, Sweep side to side.
