We have expanded the MABAS Division 15 coverage by adding the Rockdale Fire Protection District. This small but efficient department serves a three-square-mile area from a single fire station. Their fleet includes two engines, a tanker, a squad, a brush truck, and two support vehicles. The most recent engine is a custom 2008 Sutphen top-mount pumper, which is supported by a 1994 FMC Omega pumper mounted on a Sentinel chassis. The cab and chassis were built by Spartan, and while they resemble the standard Spartan RS style (with its round-steel construction), this unit featured a unique set of trim packages and options specifically tailored for the FMC private label. The Rockdale station features traditional red doors.

These vehicles are not just tools of the trade—they represent years of service, community dedication, and the evolving nature of firefighting technology. The Rockdale Fire Protection District continues to adapt and grow, ensuring that their residents receive the best possible emergency response. Whether it's a routine call or a large-scale incident like the Empress Casino Fire, the crew remains ready and resilient. As new equipment comes online and old units are retired, the legacy of these firefighters lives on through every rescue, every alarm, and every life saved.
