A little more information about this picture:
In the background, you will see a white ambulance, which is known as the "Rehab" unit. This apparatus is dispatched to structure fires or large incidents where responders need to remain on-scene for extended periods. Often, a volunteer brings this unit to the scene. It is stocked with supplies to keep crews hydrated, nourished, dry, and safe—whether they need to stay warm or cool—so they can perform the emergency responses the community relies on.To the right of the Rehab unit is an apparatus called the "Reserve," along with a fire engine two apparatuses to the right. These are backup units, ready to be deployed if another unit goes out of service. The community depends on Fire District 3's readiness, and these reserve units ensure continuous service when needed.The apparatus to the right of the live fire is the "Smoke House," a mobile unit used for public education events. It simulates a house fire, teaching citizens how to prepare and respond in the event of a real emergency.Furthest to the right is the "Incident Command Vehicle." Shared with other Clallam County agencies, this unit is deployed when incident management requires a long-term on-scene presence. Essentially, it functions as a mobile office.Not visible in the photo, behind the fire, is the "MCI Bus." This bus is equipped to transport multiple victims from a scene and allows first responders to provide medical care during rescues.
