Apparatus of the North Zulch Volunteer Fire Department
Engine 2
Engine 2 is a 2000 HME Type 1 Pumper with a 1000 gallon tank and is our primary "structure truck". It can carry a maximum crew of 6 and also currently functions as a rescue pumper with hydraulic rescue tools (Jaws of life) and first responder medical gear. It previously served with a Central Texas volunteer fire department.
Tender 2
Tender 2 is a 2025 Freightliner with a tank/pump package from Texas based Ledwell & Son Enterprises. It carries 4000 gallons of water, has a 3000 gallon dump tank, pump and roll capability, and a top mounted remote control nozzle. This apparatus was substantially funded by a firefighting grant from the State of Texas via the Texas Forest Service as the result of legislative appropriations of the 89th Texas Legislature. Donor funding from citizens completed the down payment
Tender 1
A 2004 Ford with a 2500 gallon Klein tanker body, this truck was our primary workhorse for many years. Funded by the Texas Forestry Service through Texas House Bill 2604 of the 77th Texas Legislature (Rural Volunteer Fire Department Assistant Program). It now functions as a second out apparatus in rural areas without hydrants.
Grass 1
A 2004 Stewart and Stevenson LMTV, the basic vehicle was a recent 2023 Texas Forestry Service grant of surplus military vehicles. A 500 gallon tank with hose reel was added, providing us with both a high water rescue vehicle and a heavy brush/offroad fire rig.
