| Notes |
2015/12/01: This truck has been retired from active duty after serving us for 40 years. She will now be used primarily for training purposes and for the fire cadet camp.
120 Squrt was RMES's second due pumper truck. It carries 710 gallons of water and can pump it at 1250 gallons per minute. Like 120 Engine the truck had several hundred feet of hose in many sizes, from 38mm (1 1/2 inch) to 125mm (5 inch), to do every job from hand line attack to supplying other fire apparatus. It carried all the ladders, tools, and equipment necessary to fight a fire inside or outside of a building as well. The truck's major piece of equipment is the 'Squrt' water tower, which can raise and rotate just like an aerial ladder without the ladder. At the end is a large nozzle, which can flow 1000 gallons per minute. If necessary, this truck can take (and has taken) the place of an aerial ladder's water tower at a fire scene.
