Brush 740 is a specialized wildland firefighting apparatus designed to provide rapid response capabilities in areas where larger fire apparatus may have limited access. Built on a 2014 Dodge Ram 5500 Cummins Diesel chassis, the unit is configured to operate in off-road environments, wooded areas, fields, and other challenging terrain commonly encountered during brush and wildland fire incidents.
The apparatus features a Reading aluminum body and a custom Winstead firefighting skid unit equipped with a 500 GPM pump and a 200-gallon water tank. This configuration allows crews to quickly initiate suppression operations while maintaining the mobility needed for rural and off-road responses.
In addition to brush fire incidents, Brush 740 can be utilized for support operations during large-scale emergencies, severe weather events, and incidents requiring access to remote locations. Its combination of maneuverability, firefighting capability, and specialized equipment makes it an important resource within the Sandy Spring Volunteer Fire Department fleet.
