Boise Fire Department got its roots with the beginning of a
volunteer fire department in 1876. In 1906, though, with 28 men on the
roster, Boise Fire Department became a full-time paid city fire
department. Today, Boise Fire serves a city population of 196,000
people and provides automatic and mutual aid to Ada County, with a
combined force of 14 stations and planning for future growth.

another for over 132 years, has become Truck 7. Truck 5 is built
on a Spartan Gladiator chassis with a tillered aerial of 103 feet. In a
joint effort between Crimson Fire (a division of Spartan Motors) and
Boise Mobile Equipment, the chassis is labeled as a Crimson Fire
Apparatus.
