OVERVIEW.
We take pride in our specialized apparatus that enhances our ability to serve the people of Arlington effectively. In addition to supplementing the Arlington County Fire Department's paid staff, we own and operate two vehicles allowing us to provide fire and medical support to our community.
At CVFD, our apparatus are more than just vehicles; they are critical tools that enable us to provide exceptional service to our community. Whether it’s illuminating a crime scene or responding to a fire, our dedicated volunteers and well-equipped units are always ready to help.
SUPPORT 103.
Support 103 is a versatile and essential unit in our fleet, designed to provide emergency support services. It was originally built as a heavy rescue unit in 2000 by Spartan for the Garrettsville Fire Department in Ohio. Cherrydale VFD acquired the unit in 2015. Some of its key features include:
-
Seating for 6 Firefighter/EMTs
-
30kw generator
-
Wilburt light tower
-
Equipment for ventilating, drying, and cleaning fire scenes
-
Equipment to support training personnel in fire suppression and vehicle extrication
UTILITY 103.
Utility 103 is a 2007 Ford F-250 with seating for five. It is a general support vehicle used by our members for special events and as an emergency response vehicle during times of high call volume in Arlington, particularly during severe storms. Its versatility makes it a valuable asset to our operations.
