Engine 551, a Pierce Contender Custom Pumper was purchased new in 2004. The engine was built to the specifications of the Double Oak Volunteer Fire Department by Pierce Manufacturing in Bradenton, FL. The engine was designed with safety and efficiency in mind. It carries 1000 gallons of water inside its onboard water tank. The pump on the engine is rated at 1,250 gallons per minute. Engine 551 features seating for up to six firefighters and carries a full complement of firefighting equipment including hose, hand tools, SCBA, vehicle extrication tools, ladders, and more!

Engine 552 is similar to our E551 in that it is able to pump 1250 gallons of water per minute and has a 1000-gallon onboard water tank.  Additionally, it has an onboard air compressor that provides “CAFS” or compressed air foam. This is state of the art fire suppression that provides water/foam/air mixture at 5x expansion rate compared to plain water. Pursuant to our desire to standardize our fleet, both trucks are set up very similar inside and out.

Having 2 engines provides DOVFD the means for one to engine attack a fire and the 2nd engine providing water supply by laying a supply line or shuttling water. We are also able to assist neighboring communities via mutual aid and keep an engine company in town staffed for response. E552 carries 6 firefighters safely in the cab.  This engine replaced the 1999 Spartan pumper.

Brush 552 is a 2009 Ford F-550.  This vehicle is our first out on all brush/grass fires. This project was built “in-house” by members of DOVFD! Funded in part by CoServ electric cooperative. The bed and 300-gallon skid unit were funded years ago and installed on a 1990 chassis donated by the Texas Forest Service and Flower Mound FD. In June 2009, CoServe provided an additional grant to purchase the 2009 Ford cab. The extended cab offers additional room for sensitive EMS gear as well as seating for a 3rd firefighter to ride along with gear for all 3 firefighters.

The water monitor mounted on the front bumper is controlled from the cab with a joystick, thus firefighters can fight grass fires from the safety of the cab. An 8,000-pound winch is mounted on front but can also be used off the rear of the truck. Recently DOVFD purchased a new chain saw for clearing trees from roads.
