Engine 1 Engine 1 is a 1986 Pierce that until 2008 served the Department as its first out engine.  It has a 1000 GPM Waterous Pump and a 1000 gallon tank.  It now serves as the second out truck and functions as a mutual aid unit as well.  It carries EMT-B level equipment and AED.
Engine 2 Engine 2 is a 2000 Pierce on an Freightliner chasis with 4 wheel drive capability.  It has a 1500 GPM pump and 750 gallon tank capacity.  It is used not only as a brush fire unit thanks to its duel booster reels, but with its 4 wheel drive features it serves the Department in areas of rough terrain.  It also carries EMT-B level equipment.

Tanker 1 Tanker 1 is a 1993 Pierce on a Freightliner chasis.  It has a 1000 GPM pump and 1000 gallon tank.  Many areas in Polk County are not covered well by hydrants and thus Tanker 1 responds not only in the outlying areas of Tryon's district, but mutual aid areas as well.
Service 1 Service 1 is a 2004 Chevrolet C3500 with rescue body.  It carries spare SCBAs as well as a compliment of hand tools.  It also houses the department's compliment of cribbing and carries a Hurst combi-tool on board as well for incidents when Engine 3 is assigned to another call.  It carries EMT-B level equipment and AED.
TAC 1 TAC 1 is Tryon's 2006 Ford F-350 4x4 with skid unit which serves as a brush truck and medical response unit.  It carries EMT-B level equipment and Zoll AED.
TAC 2 TAC 2 is a 2010 Polaris 6x6 with skid/medical unit built for Tryon Fire Department by Kimtek Corporation.  It was purchased with a 2010 grant from the NC Office of State Fire Marshal and is used not only for wildfire suppression but also to access the numerous horse trails and greenways so predominant in the district.  It is also used for transporting personnel around large scale festivals such as the Blue Ridge BBQ Festival.
TAC 3 TAC 3 is the radio designation for the Fire Chief's vehicle, a 2011 Chevrolet Tahoe.  This command vehicle was purchased on a 2011 grant from the Office of State Fire Marshal and is used not only by the Fire Chief but by members of the department when traveling to training sessions.  It carries EMT-B equipment, a Zoll AED, and fire investigation equipment.
