Squad 18 is 2002 Seagrave mid-ship "rescue pumper". Carrying 500 gallons of water in the tank, this engine has been modified for the purposes of the F.D.N.Y. A high-backed compartment area reduces the total length of hose this apparatus may carry when compared to a standard engine company. However, the reduced hose-bed allows for an increased volume of compartment space which the Squad uses to carry its specialized rescue equipment.
