The nearly 11,000-square-foot building includes three apparatus bays, training facilities and rescue off-road vehicle, to help firefighters get to hikers in hard-to-reach terrains.  

The station houses one fire engine and its crew, which consists of a captain, an engineer, one firefighter and one firefighter/paramedic. The station will start with seven dorm rooms but has space for four more, city spokeswoman Kathleen Richards said.

Effingham (IL) Fire Department Adds Pumper Fire Apparatus

Effinghamdailynews

The Effingham Fire Department recently welcomed a new member to its fleet. Engine 576, a new pump truck, joined the department a week ago Friday. Among its features is a 1,000-gallon water tank - now the largest in the department.

"We increased the size of the tank for interstate coverage so we have more water out there and we have a little bit of area we cover that is known as 'no-mans land' that we don't necessarily have hydrants there," explained Fire Chief Joe Holomy. At a cost of $428,000, the new pump truck was paid for in cash with $400,000 that the department saved over the last five years. The remainder came from foreign fire tax monies, which come from a 2 percent tax on out-of-state companies selling fire insurance policies in Illinois. The funds are collected and then distributed throughout the state to local fire departments each year. "There aren't a lot of frills on it," said Holomy. "It's a basic engine."
