. This new off road brush truck carries upto 4 firefighters, 450 gallons of water, and wildland fire fighting equipment. The vehicle is outfitted to handle ruff off road terrain that is not easily accessible to larger apparatus.
The members are very proud of this purchase, because the members raised the full $207,000 on their own from Loyalton Fire Department wildland program. Although LVFD is a volunteer organization, the members and the department get paid for going on out of County assignments and assisting other agencies when they are threatened by wildfire. This new fire engine will be used to support this program and our local community.
This program has also purchased a type 3 wildland engine from our neighbors at Truckee Meadows Fire last year and a new 2000 gallon water tender the year prior. Without this program Loyalton would not be able to purchase or stay up to date with necessary equipment.
Loyalton Fire is always seeking individuals who want to assist our community and become a volunteer, interested parties should contact the Fire Chief through City Hall
