ENGINE
7 is a 2003 Spartan/Boise Mobile Equipment (BME) 1500 gpm pumper.
The chassis is a Spartan Gladiator FF series chassis with a cab that seats
four. There is additional seating for two forward-facing passengers in the
rear section by means of two fold-down seats (these can't be used when
responding to fire calls, as there is no SCBA attached to them).
The body is built by Boise Mobile Equipment. It has a 500
gallon tank and Waterous pump. It is powered by a 430 hp Detroit diesel engine and has a complement
of lighting by Federal Signal.
Other specifications are as follows:

TRUCK 7 is a 2003 Pierce All-Steer 110 ft. Tower Ladder built on the Pierce Dash chassis. It made its debut during the Boise River Festival in 2003. Due to it's size, the center bay door at the station had to be raised to allow enough clearance for the truck to pass through when it was first assigned as Truck 1. In Station 7, though, the bay doors are high enough to give the truck plenty of room for passage. |

RESCUE 7 is a 2004 Spartan/Boise Mobile Equipment Rescue rig. This rig is based on the Spartan Gladiator Classic chassis, which is similar to the other Spartan/BME rigs in Boise's line-up, except for the difference in height of the cab's raised roof. It is also 18 inches longer than the comparable pumpers. The rig boasts a 35 kw power generator, 110-volt HID lighting with a boom light tower, pneumatic, hydraulic, and electric powered rescue tools, cribbing, roll-out trays for all compartments, and two Bullard Thermal Imaging Cameras. This rig is the regional response rig for all rescues and extrications and responds to all east-bound Interstate 84 extrications calls. This accounts for the solid red/marron color of the rig, as opposed to the normal white over red of the Boise Fire Department engines and trucks. |

BATTALION 3 is a 2010 GMC Yukon Command unit. This is the newest of the battalion chief rigs and covers the areas for stations 3, 7, 8, 12, and 22. |

TECHNICAL RESCUE 7 is a 2004 Ford F450 4-door pickup with a Leer Commercial Topper on the back. This rig also responds with Rescue 7 on technical rescue calls. |

OLD NUMBER 13 is a 1927 American LaFrance 500 GPM pumper, which was originally housed at the South Boise station. In 1948, the pumper was involved in a motor vehicle accident, but through restoration by local firefighters, is still used today for parades, displays, and other special events. |
