This 2000 Dodge Ram 3500 was
provided by a Florida Division
of Forestry grant following the
devastating 1998 wildfire
season. Bay County received 11
of these units, assigning one to
each county fire district and
one to the City of Callaway
which provides services in the
East Bay District. The brush
units respond on all wildland
calls in our first and second
due area and are often part of
in-county strike teams and task
forces assembled to control
major wildland fires in and
around Bay County. The units can
be assigned to respond anywhere
in the State of Florida with two
firefighters if request by the
Florida Division of Forestry.
The units can also be part of
Florida Division of Forestry
lead strike teams sent anywhere
in the country in response to
U.S. Department of Agriculture
interagency request such and the
large 2007 Georgia/Florida
Oekeenokee Swamp fires. |
