E-48's equipment includes a 10kw generator and combi-tools. However, it's most unique feature is a built-in Sno-Cone Machine (shown below) for creating shaved ice for firefighter rehab.
We always like to see new and different features on apparatus. However, this is the first Sno Cone machine we've ever encountered on a fire truck!

Hazmat 40 - 2005 Spartan/Hackney Custom Rescue
Richland Township is home to the Madison County Hazmat 40, which was previously housed at Anderson Stations 1 and 4. This apparatus responds to all Hazardous Materials Incidents in Anderson and the entire county. A Hazmat response includes members who respond from various departments and entities throughout the county. However, since RTFD has more Hazmat techs than neighboring departments, it made sense to keep it at Station 40.
