GSVFD Rescue Response Equipment

REMEMBER – When you see us coming – SLOW DOWN and Clear the Way – we could be on the way to someone you know!

With the support of our community through fund drive donations and participation in our weekly Bingo nights, the Greater Springfield Volunteer Fire Department (GSVFD) has been able to purchase and place into service all of the equipment and tools you may see around our station which are necessary to keep a modern fire department ready to respond to the needs of its community.  

In addition to buying much needed equipment, donations help keep the day to day operations of our fire department running.   Donations are also used to help maintain our buildings, stock our canteen,  house not only our equipment, but also the dedicated firefighters, medics and EMT's, both career and volunteer, who dedicate themselves to serving you.

Truck 422 - 2005 Pierce Dash 105' Aerial Ladder

Truck 422 is our tool box on wheels that lets us get to, on and in many a burning building.  Our dedicated career firefighters that staff this vehicle are proud to be "truckies". 

Brush 422

Our Brush Truck may not be new, but it gets the job done going where most other vehicles would fear to tread.  Both our volunteers and career firefighters respond in Brush 422 whenever something a little special is called for. 

Utilities

We have three station utilities, one is a Ford Excursion 4WD (left) with unmarked vehicle lighting, the second is a marked Ford 4WD two door pickup (center) with Snow Plow capability and the third (not pictured) is a marked Ford 4WD 4 door pickup.    In this photo, our Brush truck is on the far right.
