Administrative
vehicles provide transportation
for the Chief Officers, Forester, Fire Marshal, and Fire Captain Specialist.
They provide room for fire fighting gear as well as room for specialized
gear such as fire investigation kits, mapping computers and vegetation
management tools. They also provide a means for rapid response to emergencies. |
 |
Utility vehicles comes in an assortment
of makes and models. Most of them are 1/2 ton pickups used to run errands
or to transport fire fighters to overhead assignments to other parts of
the state. For example, the California Department of Forestry and Fire
Protection may request a Safety Officer for a fire in the Tehama-Glenn
Ranger Unit. Marin County could provide this resource and a utility vehicle
for transportation. |
 |
Marin County provides Advance Life
Support in the areas of Woodacre, Pt. Reyes Station, Tomales, and to the
community of Ross through contract. Paramedics utilize rescue units to
quickly respond to emergencies including heart attacks, difficulty breathing,
traffic accidents, and more! The rescue units carry the paramedic equipment,
rope rescue gear, rapid entry kits, and mass casualty kits. |
 |
Marin County's type III fire engines provide
the best in wildland fire protection! They carry 500 gallons of
water and 30 gallons of wildland firefighting foam. The standard
compliment includes 500 feet of 3 inch, 1200 feet of 1 1/2 inch,
and 800 feet of 1 inch hose. The engines have the ability to pump
500 gallons per minute while driving or stationary. Cruise control
makes the long distance driving more comfortable (Marin County provides
mutual aid throughout the entire state). |
 |
Type I fire engines provide numerous
tools for the fire fighter. It has the ability to pump 1250 gallons of
water per minute. It carries 1000 feet of 4 inch hose, 600 feet of 3 inch
hose, and several hundred feet of 2 1/2 and 1 3/4 inch hose. They carry
self contained breathing apparatus for breathing air within a burning
building or hazardous material release. They also carry specialized equipment
based on the area they serve. This equipment includes the Jaws of Life,
Paramedic gear, air bags for lifting very heavy objects and more. |
 |
With the remote nature of the
areas we serve, fire hydrants are often nonexistent. Water tenders
are used to haul water to this areas and augment water supply in areas
with hydrants. Marin County water tenders vary in size from 1500 to
3000 gallon capacity. |
 |
Marin County Fire Department utilizes state
of the art heavy equipment as part of their wildland fire arsenal. A
Caterpillar D-5H with an environmental cab can quickly build containment
lines around fires while providing safety and comfort to the 3 full
time fire heavy equipment operators. The operators maintain fire roads
during the winter and early spring months as well as provide additional
staffing for emergency response. |
 |
In the event of a major disaster
such as an earthquake or bridge collapse, heavy rescue equipment is
needed quickly. With the potential of a bridge or building collapse,
Marin County could become isolated quickly. Heavy rescue units were
built for this exact scenario that can provide urban search and rescue
capabilities. Rescue equipment includes a boom capable of lifting
heavy loads. Other equipment carried on a urban search and rescue
vehicle include: Cribbing, exothermic torch, chainsaws, cutoff saws,
jack hammer, core drillers, search cameras, listening devices, gas
detection devices, confined space search equipment, rope rescue gear,
building jacks, heavy lifting air bags, air knife, Jaws of Life, and
more |
 |
With the large amounts of coastal area, lakes, and levee systems,
water rescues are a potential threat to both citizens and visitors alike.
The Marin County USAR team uses one rigid-hull inflatable rescue boat,
two personal watercrafts, and other technical rescue equipment. |
