Squad 7 is the newest apparatus in the AVFD suppression group and is the pride of Station 7's apparatus line. This unit is one of Seagrave's first 'all-in-house' fully custom heavy rescue squads and features everthing needed for heavy rescue and fire suppression support duties. These features include seating for 9 firefighters, a double-set of Hurst hydraulic extrication tools, a full compliment of lifting, stabilization and cribbing gear, portable lighting and power generation equipment, BLS level medical supplies with AED, fixed lighting including a remotely-controlled 6000W light tower, an air cascade, rope and water rescue gear, over 50' of ground ladders as well as other various ventilation and fire suppression equipment. She is a giant red-and-white toolbox and more than capable of handling any task asked of her!

A-79 : 2014 Ford F350

Ambulance 79 (said "Ambulance 7-9") serves as the front-line Basic Life Support medical transport unit. This unit is owned by Anne Arundel County, but primarily staffed by volunteers, so it is painted in matching AFVD livery colors.

Utility 7 : 2001 Ford Pickup

Utility 7 is the AVFD's primary "stuff and people hauler" and is typically used for other volunteer fire department activities beyond responding to emergency calls. This apparatus can also be used to increase staffing at large-scale incidents and will respond to incidents where supression or rescue equipment is not necessary.
