Ladder Truck 2412 is an American LaFrance / LTI aerial truck with a 2000 GPM pump and a 100 foot ladder. While there aren't any 100 foot buildings in Eureka's district, the setbacks of many structures require the long reach of this truck. 2412 was placed in service in the 4th quarter of 2000 and was purchased with funds from the 1998 bond issue. This truck also carries an AED for cardiac emergencies.

The Eureka Fire Protection District hosts and maintains the mobile command center, Unit number 2499, for the St. Louis Regional Response System Missouri Region C / Illinois MABAS 32 and 25. The mobile command center provides extensive inter-communications capabilities, incident management equipment, and information technology systems. The mobile command center has responded for incident management as part of the St. Louis Incident Support Team (IST) and planning requests ranging from storm damage in southern Missouri to the NHRA races at Gateway International Raceway. The mobile command center is called the "EM50" as a tongue-in-cheek reference to the RV in the movie "Stripes".
The Eureka Fire Protection District has several vehicles that are used for our administrative and commnand functions. Each of the the four command officers has a vehicle assigned to them that they operate on a regular basis as they must respond on incidents at any given moment. Additionally, our community education, fire inspection, and other daily operations require us to have transportation other than fire apparatus.
