Yorktown's Apparatus

Chevrolet Trailblazer (2006)

(“Car 60”) – Car 60 carries a full complement of BLS medical equipment and rotates among the senior officers on a monthly basis. (Photo courtesy of Indiana Fire Trucks )

Polaris (2019)

UTV-60 was purchased to provide medical support for the numerous events that occur around the town as well as give the department off-road medical capability. It is normally used for medical standby at Yorktown Community Schools athletic events as well as medical support for community events such as the 4th of July Fireworks and 4 for the 4th.

Mobile Air Unit/trailer (2008)

MAU 60 is used on fires to refill the air bottles firefighters wear to prevent smoke inhalation. It can use an air compressor to fill using outside air or use onboard air tanks. (Photo courtesy of Indiana Fire Trucks )

KME Excel 500 gallon rescue/engine (2000)

R68 is the department’s primary rescue vehicle and responds mostly to vehicle accidents/fires and special operations incidents. As the unofficial “flagship” for YFD (it was a show truck at FDIC 2001), R68 also acts as our “outreach” apparatus at community events. R68 is also the only truck on the department with a fire bell! It is 4th out on structure fires in hydrated areas, 5th out in non-hydrated areas. (Photo courtesy Indiana Fire Trucks )

Ford F550/Stahl 225 gallon brush/medical rig (2004)

T69 operates as the first out truck for medical responses as well as brush/field fires, a duty it trades with Squad 60 every other month. (Photo courtesy of Indiana Fire Trucks )

International/KME 3,000 gallon tanker (1996)

T66 is one of our two tankers and is 2nd out on fires/investigations in non-hydrated areas. (Photo courtesy of Indiana Fire Trucks )

Smeal/Spartan 400 gallon/100’ foot platform (2015)

Ladder 64 is Yorktown’s first aerial device and was specc’d as a quint so it could act as an engine if need be. The department decided an aerial device was needed due to the type of occupancies Yorktown now covers as well as looking forward to developments that are scheduled to be built in the future. It is 2nd out for fires and investigations in areas with hydrants and 4th out for areas without hydrants. (Photo courtesy of Indiana Fire Trucks )
