Minatocho Volunteer Fire Department

The Minatocho Volunteer Fire Department is one of El Kadsre City’s Volunteer Fire Departments, located in the port town of Minatocho.

It’s fleet consists mainly of Pierce Quantums with Osaka Siren warning lights and sirens (both an electronic one and a motor-driven one). The department’s sole Heavy Rescue replaces the Osaka Motor Siren with a Federal Q; it also has Grover Stuttertone air horns installed, making it the only one in the department, for unusually, most units don’t have emergency-style air horns. Aside from the Osaka Siren lights, they also have two Red Tri-Lite Mars “888” warning lights, as well as a sealed-beam Roto Ray (3 red lights).

(The sole exception to the above paragraph is the Battalion, which only shares the Osaka Siren lightbar and electronic siren in common with such units)

This volunteer fire department, due to Minatocho’s small size, only has one station, with two engines, a truck, a heavy rescue, a tanker, and a battalion. There are no Emergency Medical Services provided, since that’s filled in by the nearby Minatocho Volunteer Rescue Squad.

Over the years, the station has had numerous different warning sirens, mostly by Federal Signal, with the current one being an electronic Modulator from said company. The attack tone is the one mainly used by the department, going off to signify whenever there’s an emergency that the department has to respond to, as well as to help summon volunteers over to the department when they’re needed. The Hi-Lo tone is less used, used to warn residents of severe weather.
