Truck 32 is a 2016 EOne Typhoon Quint with a 78' Aerial ladder, and is staffed with two firefighter/EMTs and one officer. Quint units are versatile because they have both a ladder and a 500 gallon water tank, allowing firefighters to accomplish several tasks with one unit. Medic 18 is the second ambulance provided by the Riverview Fire District. Medic 18 is a 2009 Freightliner M2/MedTec ambulance. It is staffed with two firemedics.

Tanker 33 is a 2021 International/E-One Tanker that has a tank capacity of 2,000 gallons. Two reserve engines are also kept at Station 3, Engine 302 and Engine 303. These units can replace a frontline apparatus in the event of maintenance or repair, or be staffed during a large-scale emergency.
Station 4- Engine 34, Attack 34
Station 4 is located on Stone Island approximately one mile off Brickton Beach. Because there is no bridge connecting Stone Island to Brickton Beach, all traffic going to and from the island must go either by boat or car ferry. During an emergency, this can represent a lengthy response time, which prompted officials to open a fire station to service the area 24/7. If other emergency units are required, they can respond to the island via the car ferry, which is active 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. The current Station 4 was constructed in 1991. The station is permanently staffed with one Firefighter/EMT and one officer. This ensures a timely response to the 400+ residents on the island.
Station 4 houses Engine 34 and Attack 34. Engine 34 is a 2011 International/Pierce PUC. Attack 34 is a 2005 Ford-F550/E-One mini pumper.
