Station 5 - The Zoo
Station 5 is one of the busiest stations, averaging just over 60 calls per day.
Apparatus stationed here are Engine 5, Engine 205, Truck 5, Squad 5, Rescue Ambulance 5, Fast Response 5, and Battalion 3. All are fully staffed and respond independently of each other due to the large volume of calls. However, the two engines and truck can respond as a single resource: Heavy Task Force 5. The high risk areas in Station 5's coverage include attractions such as malls and stores, high-rise apartment complexes, and the infamous Brick Row.

Engine 205
The third busiest engine company (behind Engine 5 and Engine 1), Engine 205 is a 2017 Seagrave Attacker HD rescue engine and replaced the 2008 Pierce Saber PUC. She is slightly larger than the standard engine layout due to the rescue equipment setup. Unlike the rest of the "200" series engine companies, E205 is fully staffed by 4 firefighters and runs independently of Truck 5. All the major suppression apparatus at Station 5 run independent of each other due to the unusually high volume of calls in their district.

Truck 5
Castle Beach Fire Department has received Truck 5, the first of five rigs to be purchased courtesy of the LEMA grant! Truck 5 is special in the fleet as it is one of two truck companies not tethered to the 2-car (with the other being Truck 10). The latest version of Truck 5 features new innovations and techniques resulting in a much more stable rig! Although Truck 5 comes in at 61 ft in length, the apparatus can maneuver much easier than a rear-mount or mid-mount aerial thanks to the steering 5th wheel. As the second busiest truck company in the city, Truck 5 sees action in mostly in downtown Castle Beach.

Battalion Chief 3
The new Battalion Chief vehicles have arrived! Castle Beach originally purchased four RAM 3500 4x4 pickups to replace the Chevy Suburbans. After the order was placed, Mt. Studstown and Pasalego were able to tag onto the order and thus save time and money. One of the biggest additions to the battalion chief vehicles is the NightScan Powerlite, which was a popular request.
