[ARCHIVED] Grand Junction Fire Department Debuts Tower 6, Brush 5, and Boat 5 Tonight!

GJFD Tower 6

Join us tonight at the Parade of Lights to see the newest additions to our fleet, designed to enhance our community's safety and emergency response capabilities.

Tower 6
 Tower 6 is a 100-foot mid-mount platform fire truck equipped with a 2000-gallon-per-minute pump. This state-of-the-art apparatus enhances our ability to suppress fires in buildings of all sizes. Tower 6 will be stationed at Fire Station 6, strategically located near Horizon Drive to efficiently serve the area's high-rise buildings and surrounding community.

Brush 5
 Our newest wildland firefighting vehicle, Brush 5, is built for rugged, remote, and wildfire-prone areas. Its compact design and high ground clearance allow it to navigate rough terrain and access hard-to-reach areas.

Boat 5
 Towed by Brush 5, Boat 5 is a jet boat specially designed for swift water rescue, flood response, and remote access scenarios. Its lack of a propeller enables shallow-water operations, while its design ensures quick turns, reverse thrust, and stability in fast-moving currents.

Come see Tower 6, Brush 5, and Boat 5 up close tonight during the Parade of Lights. Don’t miss this opportunity to witness these impressive new tools in person!

For additional information, please contact the GJFD Community Outreach Office at (970) 549-5800 or email GJFirePIO@gjcity.org.
