This & That from Here & There - GA_Dave - 05-09-2009

As many of you already know, I recently made a trip to the Pierce factory in Appleton, WI to do final inspection on my department's new pumper. Wanting to add to my collection of apparatus photos, I drove there instead of flying, taking pics at numerous stops along the way. The journey lasted from April 26th to May 6th and increased the odometer reading on my car by 2354 miles. I had the pleasure of meeting fellow 'pixer Rob from Redwood, Canada and spent some time with two previously met Firepics members, Trina and Bruce, from Hope, IN. The trip was a success, with a net gain of about 200 apparatus photographed.



Our new Engine 1 is a 2009 Arrow XT. Job Number 21703 is powered by a Series 60 Detroit Diesel rated at 455 horsepower and features a 1500 GPM Hale single stage pump. It has a 6 Kw. hydraulic/PTO generator, 200' cord reel, and five floodlights. The body has rescue-style compartments on both sides, topped off with an overhead ladder rack carrying 28' extension, 14' roof and 10' extension ladders. The tank holds 750 gallons of the wet stuff. There is storage for 8 spare SCBA cylinders and two O2 bottles. There are four 1.75", 200' preconnects above the pump, all with TFT 95-300 GPM nozzles. The deck gun is a TFT rated at 1250 GPM and raises up above the roofline when in use. The front bumper holds a 100' trash line and 300' of 1" forestry hose. The main hosebed will carry 1000' of 5", 650' of 3" wyed off into a pair of 1.75" handlines that are 150' long, also ending in TFT 95-300 GPM nozzles. Also in the hosebed is a 300' deadload of 3" with a R.A.M. (Rapid Attack Monitor), equipped with a 500 GPM TFT nozzle, and a compartment for two backboards. Engine 1 will respond as an ALS First Responder and has an EMS cabinet inside the cab. It will carry a full set of Hurst extrication tools, roof saw, Cutter's Edge saw, PPV, and a thermal imaging camera. It even has room for four Firefighters!

The front end features an assortment of devices to arouse the eyes and ears. The lighting consists of a Code 3 lightbar, four LED's above the wig-wag headlights, two Mars lights and a Roto-Ray. The Grover Stuttertones and Q2B are backed up by a Powercall 6-Adam driving a pair of 100 watt speakers.

Likely because our dealer, Ten-8, is based in Florida. I've already taken steps to make the necessary corrections.
