The Fleet of Station 9
Built for the Rural Landscape
Protecting Glade Valley requires specialized equipment that can handle winding mountain roads, remote residential areas, and expansive wildland. From high-capacity water tankers to agile brush units and modern fire engines, our fleet is meticulously maintained and ready to roll at a moment's notice.
Engines & Pumpers
Our primary fire suppression units. Equipped with high-volume pumps and hundreds of feet of hose, these engines are the front-line defense against structural fires and vehicle emergencies.
Tankers
In a rural district without municipal fire hydrants, water supply is everything. Our tankers carry thousands of gallons of water directly to the scene, ensuring our engines never run dry during an attack.
Brush & Wildland Units
Designed for off-road agility, these smaller trucks are essential for fighting brush and forest fires in hard-to-reach locations across Alleghany County.
Chief Command Vehicle
Chief’s Command Truck equipped with compressed air system in medical first aid equipment and all that is needed to be first on scene. This allows him to be first on scene from wherever he is located.
Life-Saving Technology
Beyond our trucks, Station 9 is equipped with the latest in public safety technology, including thermal imaging cameras to locate hotspots, hydraulic extraction tools (the "Jaws of Life") for vehicle accidents, and advanced radio communication systems that keep our volunteers synced with Alleghany County Dispatch.
