Gator

The department’s 2015 John Deere Gator is a versatile off-road vehicle used primarily for grass and brush fires, as well as supporting rope rescue operations in remote areas like Nelson Kennedy Ledges State Park. It’s equipped with a 50-gallon skid unit for small-scale fire suppression and is capable of transporting personnel, tools, and rescue equipment into areas inaccessible to full-size apparatus. Whether extinguishing spot fires or delivering gear to technical rescue scenes, the Gator is a vital asset for off-road response.
