This is a “quint”, or quintuple combination, because it combines five roles. These are pumper, water tender, hose wagon, ladder carrier and aerial ladder truck. I do not have details of this individual unit, but from its dimensions it would seem to be a pretty standard unit. Pump rated at 1500 USGPM (5460 LPM @ 150 PSI (10AT), a 400 US gallon tank (1450 liters) and a 75 foot (23 meter) turntable ladder. These are typically assigned to less busy outer suburban fire stations, as they combine most of the capabilities of both a standard pumper and a standard aerial into one unit. The crew varies from department to department, but in Clark County it is apparently usually three.
