Fire Engine Maintenance in the Station Wash Bay

A heavy-duty fire engine rests inside the spacious wash bay of a local fire station. Heavy water hoses, nozzle fittings, and a bright fire hydrant stand ready along the tile bay floor for cleaning and inspection. The emergency vehicle remains positioned in the bay so firefighters can quickly wash equipment after returning from a call.

Important Facts About Fire Engines and Station Care

Firefighters inspect and thoroughly wash their fire trucks immediately after every emergency call to remove dirt, soot, and debris from valves and pumps. The pumps on modern pumper trucks can discharge over fifteen hundred gallons of water per minute through thick supply hoses. Keeping emergency vehicles clean prevents corrosion and ensures all equipment operates flawlessly during urgent calls.
