What is the fire protection class 5?
All areas are rated as far as there fire department and water system. The State rates the fire department according to certain guidelines standard across the United States. To have the fire rating of your closest fire department you must be within five road miles of the fire department and be within 1000 feet of a fire hydrant. If you are within 5 miles of the fire department but not within 1000 feet of a hydrant your fire protections class will be a 9. If you are more than 5 miles of a fire department you are a class 10. A class 5 is a rather good fire department rating and will result in better than average fire insurance rates. I have not seen a fire department made up of volunteer firemen with a better fire rating than a 5.
What types of trucks do they have at a fire station?
Various types of fire trucks, which will vary by department and what kind of environment they operate in. A more rural fire department might have trucks with internal water storage, whereas an urban fire department can rely on the availability of fire hydrants. A city fire department would be more prone to having hook-and-ladder trucks in order to reach tall buildings, whereas this wouldn't be as much of an issue for a more rural fire department. Brush trucks would be more commonplace in a rural or small town fire department, what these are will also be dependent on the fire department and what they deal with. For a fire department which might deal with vacant lot fires, but not major forest fires, it may simply be a modified 4x4 pickup, whereas other departments may use demilitarised tactical trucks and tracked vehicles. Some departments will have ambulances as their stations, since EMS is normally part of Fire and Rescue for that town, city, or county.
