Cordell Station 1
Cordell Fire Department operates out of one station, half of which is the original fire station. The far left side houses the city's ambulances. They have 3 career firefighters plus the chief with 13 volunteers. Most nights the station is staffed by at least one volunteer to back up the sole paid firefighter. CFD operates a 48/96 schedule.
Engine 2 - 1995 Ford/E-One, S.O. 14056 - 1250 Hale/1000 Tank Diesel/Auto
Engine 2 is first out for all fires for the CFD. The two-man engine setup works perfectly for the departments current operation.
Engine 3 - 2003 Pierce Dash, Job #13578 - 2000 Waterous/500 Tank/50' - Diesel/Auto - ex-Salt Lake County, UT
Engine 3 is second out for all in town fires. It is also second out for all wrecks, as it carries a set of hydraulic extrication tools and stabilization equipment. This truck now gives Cordell and surrounding towns an aerial device, as the closest one before its purchase was Clinton.
Engine 88 - 1988 E-One, S.O. 6153 - 1500 Hale/3000 Tank - Diesel/Auto - ex-Fox Lake, IL
Engine 88 acts as the departments tanker, but can act as an engine as well. Originally purchased for the body, the department decided to run the truck as is for a few years. The original lime green was painted over to match the rest of the fleet.
Brush Pumper 1 - 2009 Ford F350/CFD - 125 Hale/300 Tank - Diesel/Auto
Brush Pumper 1 is second out for all grass fires and will respond with the Washita County Task Force when called for.
Brush Pumper 2 - 2014 Ford F450/CFD - 125 Darley/500 Tank - Diesel/Auto
Brush Pumper 2 began its life as an ambulance in Missouri. The department purchased the cab & chassis for $7500 and converted it to a brush pumper. BP2 also carries the departments medical equipment and a set of electric extrication tools. It is first out for all EMS, vehicle accidents, and grass fires.
This was originally delivered new to the Mehlville Fire District in St. Louis MO in 2014 as a Ford F450 4x4/Osage (#4214, J1900) Ambulance. In 2019 it was returned to Osage and the body remounted on a new chassis. The chassis was sold to Cordell who converted it into the brush truck we see today. - Dennis Maag information and photo
