Fire Apparatus and Vehicles

Rolla Fire & Rescue utilizes a variety of vehicles and firefighting apparatus to perform its mission of public safety and emergency response. The height of some local buildings, such as Thomas Jefferson Hall on the University of Missouri-Rolla campus, place some requirements on the department that most departments in cities of similar size may not face. Rolla Fire & Rescue, with its fleet of vehicles, stands ready to respond to any emergency situation, whether on the ground or 105 feet in the air.
