OHFD has four
Engines, each equipped with 1500 gallon per minute pumps, hose, ladders, fans, tarps, air
bottles, tools and enough medical and other equipment to operate alone for a limited
period of time. The national Fire Protection Association requires an annual pump test on
each fire engine that responds as a pumper. The test averages three hours and if the pump
fails, repairs must be made and the engine retested.
