Fire Equipment Shop

 

 

Page is under construction, please check back later for updates
 
The CSFS Fire Equipment Shop provides mechanical support to rural fire departments, local, county, state and federal cooperators by developing, fabricating, repairing, and maintaining fire equipment. Historically, excess military equipment has been converted by the Fire Equipment Shop into fire engines that provide fire departments with fire protection they would otherwise not be able to afford.

Currently, there are 140 engines placed with local fire departments throughout Colorado. Common types of equipment include initial attack wildland engines built on 5/4-ton military chasis, 1000 gallon engines built on 2 1/2-ton six wheel drive military chasis, and a few all wheel drive engines equipped with Compressed Air Foam units built on 5-ton chasis as pictures above.

For more information on our mechanical support services, contact Greg Sundstrom at 970-491-8435.
