Engine 351 is BST&G’s primary truck for all fire calls. The cab can hold up to 6 firefighter but can operate with a minimum of 3, a driver who is responsible for the pump, a Lieutenant who is in charge of the emergency scene, and a firefighter who is the nozzle man. It has several attack hand lines as well as 1,000′ of 5″ supply line. E351 also carries some rescue tools to operate at an auto accident until the heavy rescue arrives. It also carries an array of EMS equipment such as cardiac monitors and oxygen so we can provide emergency medical treatment until a Paramedic unit arrives. It has a Compressed Air Foam System and a light tower as well.

Engine 351 is the latest in technology with a “Green Star” system on board. This is an auxiliary power unit with a small diesel engine that automatically starts on runs all the systems on the truck, except the pump, while on extended scenes to save fuel and wear and tear on the main truck engine.
