Since the focus of this month’s apparatus column is Sussex County, we are featuring as this month’s Little Big Guy, Brush 1 of the Frankford Township Volunteer Fire Department. It is a 2003 Ford F-250 XL, Super Duty 4x4 chassis with a 2018 Wildland Warehouse conversion. It has a 125-gpm pump and 125-gallon water tank. Other equipment includes bladder bags, a ¾-inch hose reel, 1 ¾-inch dead load, one-inch donut roll, scene lights, forestry tools, shovels, a fire rake, a leaf blower and a chainsaw.
