Fire Department Apparatus

The Williston Fire Department takes pride in its apparatus. We maintain each truck to the highest level so we are prepared for every response. Our apparatus inventory includes three engines, one tower-ladder, one engine tanker, a Hazmat truck/trailer, brush truck and support vehicles. We also operate an ATV, snowmobile and rescue sled.

We are grateful to the people and businesses of Williston for their support of the department. This support has allowed us to replace old equipment with new technology. We are always looking for technology that will reduce response times and improve firefighter safety.

Our doors are always open for families to stop by and view the apparatus up close.
