NSCFPD has a variety of apparatus and vehicles, not just fire engines. All of the District’s Fire vehicles carry emergency medical supplies and AEDs, after that, the equipment on the different vehicles varies. Driving fire engines requires a special license that most of the FPD members have obtained; the other vehicles require a regular Class C driver license.

4400 is a utility vehicle, a 2020 Ford Ranger. This truck is the “chief’s rig” and is used mainly by the Fire Chief, but it may also be used by anyone on the department when it is needed at an incident or on department business.

Rescue 4401 is a 1996 Ford F350, 4X4 vehicle. It is a 4X4 so it can get to the more challenging areas of Annapolis. In 2021 it was outfitted with a “skid pump” so it has a small water tank and some hose to provide initial attack firefighting capability. 4401 is the primary response vehicle for Assistant Chief 4401.

E4458 is a “type 6” engine that has been custom designed for our needs on the coast. E4458 has a Ford F550 chassis and a buildup custom built by Rosenbauer in South Dakota. It can respond to fires, medical aids, rescues, and vehicle accidents. It is four-wheel drive and while not a “small” vehicle it is smaller and more agile than the larger engines used to fight structure fires, and can reach areas in our rural district that the larger engines cannot. E4458 is our “first-out” vehicle, the one that our CAL FIRE staff responds in to most incidents. Read more and see images from E4458’s “push-in” ceremony!

Rescue 4433 is a 2017 Ford F550. 4433 is essentially a “giant toolbox” carrying medical, extrication, cliff rescue, and other gear, including some firefighting gear and tools, but it does not have a water tank and does not carry hose.

A “type 6” engine is basically a heavy-duty pickup truck chassis with a water tank, pump, and hose, plus a small compliment of rescue and medical gear. Type 6’s are especially useful for quick first-attack on wildland fires in areas where larger vehicles may not be able to get access.

Engine 4483 is our newest engine, a Rosenbauer “Timberwolf” engine built on an International chassis.  E4483 is equipped to fight both structure fires and wildland fires.  It has a 750 gallon water tank, pumping capability of 1250 gpm, and the ability to pump at both high and low pressure.  This engine went into service in the summer of 2020.

4441 is an offroad “side by side” vehicle,or “UTV” (utility task vehicle). It is a 2023 Honda Pioneer Trail 1000. 4441 allows transport of people and equipment to the many places in our area that larger trucks cannot reach. 4441 has been customized by Chris Aitchison of CNA Metalworks to be able to hold a “Stokes Basket”. A Stokes is a long metal basket used to hold and transport a human patient out of a difficult-to-reach area, such as from down an embankment, or from a trail that is not reachable by regular vehicles. 4 41 was purchased and equipped entirely with funds donated to the North Sonoma Coast Volunteer Firefighter Assocation.
