Engine 6 is the first due apparatus for medical calls and accidents. It is the only Engine in the department with a 1000gallon tank.
When a structure fire occurs, the Engine crew transfer to Tanker 6 which includes nearly all of the same equipment, but carries
additional water required in their mixed rural/city district.

Tanker 6 is the only Tanker at Lafayette. Since half of Station 6's district includes areas without city fire hydrants,
this apparatus is first due to all structure fires. Tanker 6 is also sometimes requested for mutual aid by the
Volunteer Township Fire Departments to the north and east.

Headed around back - Both of Lafayette's newest stations (6 and 9) were designed with drive-though bays,
which makes parking this big rig a lot easier.
