Ambulance 79
2008 Medtek Ambulance 79 (said "Ambulance 7-9") serves as the front-line Basic Life Support medical transport unit. This unit is owned by Anne Arundel County, but primarily staffed by volunteers, so it is painted in matching AFVD livery colors. It is equipped with train horns to help 'wake up' those folks on the road who arn't paying attention!


Squad 7
2007 Seagrave Marauder Walk-In Rescue Squad 7 is the newest apparatus in the AVFD suppression group and is the pride of Station 7's apparatus line. This unit is one of Seagrave's first 'all-in-house' fully custom heavy rescue squads and features everthing needed for heavy rescue and fire suppression support duties. These features include seating for 9 firefighters, a double-set of Hurst hydraulic extrication tools, a full compliment of lifting, stabilization and cribbing gear, portable lighting and power generation equipment, BLS level medical supplies with AED, fixed lighting including a remotely-controlled 6000W light tower, an air cascade, rope and water rescue gear, over 50' of ground ladders as well as other various ventilation and fire suppression equipment. She is a giant red-and-white toolbox and more than capable of handling any task asked of her!


Chiefs Buggy
2004 Ford Expedition This vehicle is one of the more active chief's cars in Anne Arundel County and features everything needed to 'take charge' of any emergency situation.


Engine 73
2003 Seagrave Marauder Pumper Engine 73 (said "Engine 7-3") is the AVFD's front line fire suppression unit. This apparatus has seating for 8 firefighters, and is equipped with a 1250 GPM single-stage pump, 750 gallon water tank and all equipment necessary for fire suppression duties.


Engine 72
2001 E-ONE Engine 72 (said "Engine 7-2") is the AVFD's second line fire suppression unit and is owned by Anne Arundel County. This apparatus has seating for 6 firefighters, and is equipped with a 1250 GPM single-stage pump, 750 gallon water tank, 30 gallon foam tank and all equipment necessary for fire suppression duties.


Utility 7
2001 Ford Pickup Utility 7 is the AVFD's primary "stuff and people hauler" and is typically used for other volunteer fire department activities beyond responding to emergency calls. This apparatus can also be used to increase staffing at large-scale incidents and will respond to incidents where supression or rescue equipment is not necessary.
