Brush 11-1

1997 LMTV

Brush 11-1 was donated to company 11 through a government grant. This unit once belonged to the New Jersey National Guard and operated during Hurricane Sandy. Support 11-3 arrived just in time for the massive flooding in southern Washington County in May of 2018 where company 11's first due area received 7 1/2 inches of rain in a 2 hour time period flooding out homes and washing out numerous roadways.  Over the coming days, an additional 2 inches of rain fell over the area while Brush 11-1 was the only Fire Department vehicle that was able to access most of company 11's area.

Brush 11-1 is still under going upgrades to better serve our area. A snow plow has been recently added along with emergency lighting and a 500 gallon water tank. Upcoming upgrades will be the addition of  a booster line for Brush and mountain fires.
