The journey started up in Rockford Hills, at the main headquarters; Station Two. Straight away we were already treated by the sight of the new utility vehicles lined up at the parking. Swift Water Rescue unit along with the Brush unit Engine and the Rescue Ambulance / Battalion Chief's vehicle Next on our list of destinations was Station One. The station located in Paleto Bay which recently opened up and is the main base for the volunteers of the department. At their parking lot we saw the rescue ambulance and the vehicle referred to as the engine which are stationed at every station. The special deployment units were to be found at the back of the rather small headquarters. They were lined up, the Swift Water Rescue unit along with the Brush unit gleamed. The purpose of the latter was explained by Chief Randy Sikes himself: "We have a lot of forest and countryside out here, so we have Brush unit. They respond to all wildland fires and grass fires.".

This station is officially the smallest station of the department but were obviously not forgotten seeing the photographs of the vehicles based there.

Being the main station of the USAR division it was the most crowded one. What this division is about was explained to us by Chief Sikes: "Urban Search and Rescue deal with the more tricky operations. It's a small group of firefighters, but volunteers have the opportunity to join if they'd like. They get to do a lot of cool things.". Chief R. Sikes along with several fire fighters USAR Truck along with the Rescue Engine At the station itself the new fleet was looking amazing in the setting sun.
