TRUCK 7 is a 2003 Pierce All-Steer 110 ft. Tower Ladder built on the Pierce Dash chassis.  It made its debut during the Boise River Festival in 2003.  Due to it's size, the center bay door at the station had to be raised to allow enough clearance for the truck to pass through.
Rescue 7 RESCUE 7 is a 2004 Spartan/Boise Mobile Equipment Rescue rig.  This rig is based on the Spartan Gladiator Classic chassis, which is similar to the other Spartan/BME rigs in Boise's line-up, except for the difference in height of the cab's raised roof.  It is also 18 inches longer than the comparable umpers.  The rig boasts a 35 kw power generator, 110-volt HID lighting with a boom light tower, pneumatic, hydraulic, and electric powered rescue tools, cribbing, roll-out trays for all compartments, and two Bullard Thermal Imaging Cameras.  This rig is the regional response rig for all rescues and extrications and responds to all east-bound Interstate 84 extrications calls.
