The small Town of Dundee, located in Polk County, is protected by a 17 member combination Fire Department along with PCFR Medic 66 which runs out of the Dundee Fire Station. The medic unit is staffed 24/7 along with part time paid Firefighters, during business hours, 7 days a week. Volunteer firefighters make up the main force and supplement the paid personnel.
The department runs a small, unique fleet consisting of two Engines and two Squads, that are painted blue-over-red. Engine 2, being the oldest in the fleet, is aptly named "Optimus Prime", a like colored truck, from the Transformers franchise. Squad 1 (not shown) is a medium duty rescue truck built on a Chevrolet chassis.
