Boise Fire Department got its roots with the beginning of a
volunteer fire department in 1876. In 1906, though, with 28 men on the
roster, Boise Fire Department became a full-time paid city fire
department. Today, Boise Fire serves a city population of 196,000
people and provides automatic and mutual aid to Ada County, with a
combined force of 14 stations, an ARFF station at the airport, and planning for future growth.
Boise Fire Truck 6
Truck 6 is a refurbished Aerialscope 85 ft. mid-mount aerial on
a 2002 Pierce Dash chassis. The truck's aerial had previously been
mounted on a 1985 Mach chassis. The truck responds to all
structure fires and vehicle crashes requiring extrication in the Bench
and west end of Boise. This unit is the only Pierce-Aerialscope
combination rig in the United States.
