Classified as an engine-tanker, it boasts a 1250gpm Waterous pump with a 3000 gallon booster tank within a body manufactured by Toyne of Breda, Iowa. The truck was purchased as a demo unit from VRS Sales of Clifton Park. As the district served by the company has no municipal water system, the addition of this fire truck will provide a total of 7000 gallons of water to be delivered initially to a fire scene. ETA-221 will also benefit neighboring companies, supplying a large amount of water quickly to fire scenes.

As it is smaller than the other trucks and four-wheel drive, it can respond to more remote locations. It has a skid unit, which is a tank and a pump mounted together. The unit is then set into the recessed area on the back of the truck. The pump is capable of pumping 700 gallons of water per minute and the tank can hold up to 200 gallons of water. The truck is a Ford F-350 purchased from Brown's Ford in Johnstown, NY and the compartments, accessories and skid unit were installed by Wilde Fire Equipment of Mayfield, NY. F-225 arrived to the firehouse in January, 2001.
MR-226
MR-226 is a 2002 Guardian being used by the fire company under a cooperative agreement with the Saratoga County Sheriff's Office. The boat is equipped with a "portable pump" which can draw water directly from the lake. Its use can range from a boat fire to a grass or brush fire near the shoreline which may not be immediately accessible to fire trucks. MR-226 is the primary responding fire/rescue apparatus for EVFC to any emergency on the Great Sacandaga Lake during boating season within district. Neighboring agencies on the lake may also request its response through Mutual Aid. For an emergency which requires diving, Corinth and/or South Glens Falls Fire Departments have specially trained and equipped dive teams.

It is kept on the Great Sacandaga Lake during the spring and summer months, boating season for the region. MR-228 can be used when additional resources are needed at an emergency scene on the lake.
RESCUE SLED
The rescue sled is a 2001 Ski-Doo Skandic snowmobile with a toboggan that can be attached to it. The towns of Edinburg and Day are mainly forest lands with many snowmobile trails that cross through those forests. The rescue sled can be used to access those trails and rescue snowmobilers who may be trapped deep in the woods. The rescue sled can also respond to rescues on the Great Sacandaga Lake during the winter when the lake is frozen over.
