Engine 172 was purchased new by the Wattsburg Hose Company.  This truck responds on nearly every call we receive.  In addition to being a front line engine, it has a multi-gas detector for carbon monoxide alarms, and has firefighting foam for use on vehicle fires and hazardous materials responses.  It is also equipped with basic first aid supplies, to be used as a First Response truck for medical calls.  It is currently equipped with our Rescue Tools as well, until a replacement for 175 can be obtained.  Engine 172 is stationed at Station 17 in Wattsburg.

Tanker 173 has been in service for a very long time, in many re-incarnations.  The tank itself is originally from a milk truck, and has put on several successively newer chassis as the need has arisen.  The most current iteration is based out of Station 18 in Phillipsville, and responds on all Structure Fire calls.

Tanker 174 began its life as a normal semi.  After being purchased used by the Wattsburg Hose Company, the truck was sent to 4Guys to be converted to a tanker.  After a frame lengthening was performed, and a pump and stainless steel tank were outfitted, the truck you see today returned, and was placed into service as the Tanker running from Station 17.  Like 173, this truck rolls on every Structure Fire call the Wattsburg Hose Company receives.

Squad 176

1998 Ford F350
Body by American Emergency Vehicles

Squad 176 was purchased by the Hose Company after previous use as a demonstration vehicle.  The truck was placed into service in early 1999.  This ambulance is based out of Station 17, and is the primary responder for all calls.  This squad doesn't just roll for ambulance calls, it responds on every type of call we get, including fires, rescues, searches, and vehicle accidents.

Pumper 177 runs out of Station 18, and performs all of the same tasks that Engine 172 does, including response on vehicle accidents, carbon monoxide alarms, fire alarms, as well as vehicle and structure fires.

Squad 178 was purchased in 2007 and delivered to the department in 2008.  This is the most current model to date.  The squad can seat 2 up front, 6 in the back, 1 patient (or 2 patients and 3 seated).  The controls are completely digital and includes a backup camera with sound.  A picture will be posted as soon as the weather allows a good one.

1948 Chevrolet

This truck is the first vehicle ever purchased new by the Wattsburg Hose Company.  It was replaced by the old Engine 172, an American LaFrance, then sold to another department.  The buying department eventually wanted to sell the truck, so the Wattsburg Hose Company purchased the truck back, and had it restored.  The gold paint is actually gold, and was hand lettered by a member of the community.  This truck is mostly used for parades, but could be placed back in service with minimal work.
