Niiccee Dave! Continuing on with Summerville, SC this is one of twin 1997 E\-One pumpers. Engine 14 is a 1997 E\-One 1500gpm, 500 gal. which runs out of Station 2.

[ddoyle195]

Next is it's twin Engine 15 a 1997 E\-One 1500gpm 500gal. Engine 15 runs out of our main station and is first due for Station 1. Both Engine 14 and 15 carry extrication tools.

Next is our third reserve pumper Engine 17. It's a 1991 Pierce Arrow 1500gpm 500gal. In this picture you will see the right rear rotator on the stanchion does not have a lense. Both rear stanchion lights have been replaced on this truck by federal signal rotators. Engine 17 is one of three Pierce arrow's Summerville owns and every engineer and fireman love our Pierce's. Engine 17 is one of my favorites as well!

Engine 19 is the Pride of Summerville. Engine 19 is one of twin 1993 Pierce Arrow 1500gpm 500gal and runs second due out of Station 1. Engine 19 will also back up Station 2, Station 3, and Station 4 for any alarm of fires in the town and is primarily a RIT company. Engine 19 is also the fastest truck in our fleet.

Next is Engine 20 the other twin Pierce arrow. It's a 1993 Pierce Arrow 1500gpm 500gal. Engine 20 runs first due out of Station 3 and has close to 100,000 miles on her. This pic will seem small due to being a mobile upload.

Are those roof rotators Federal Dual Sealed Beam lights or Mirror and Hallagon Lights? If they are Mirror type do they put much light out?



I love Becon Lights any day over light bars. Just Tradtion like my leather 5A New Yorker and Q2b siren.



Stay Safe, Rick

Rick:



Yes they are Federal Dual Sealed Beam lights. I agree with you, it adds charecter to the truck. My father-in-law was in town for Easter and I showed him around and he goes "I have an MX7000 that would look great on top of that cab." I said hell no, it works fine just the way it is!

If the guys in Summerville like Pierce, why do they keep buying E\-One?

Anyone got a clue where this truck served before the SC Forestry acquired it? As Gary said, this truck served as Dunklin, SC "Engine 1" for a while, then was assigned to Pumpkintown, SC "Engine 1"

This truck looks X-Military, but I don't know where. Camp Lejeune,NC ran a truck that looked similar.

Going back to Dorchester County, SC, I will wrap up the Summerville Fire Department of what pics I have so far. This is Summerville Truck 1, a 2002 Sutphen 2000gpm 300gal. 100ft. Truck 1 runs out of Station 3 along with Engine 20 on Trolley Road. Here is a pic of it in action at a fire back in April.

A better pic of Truck 1 in action. Truck 1 and Engine 17 are my favorites from Summerville <img src='http://www.firepics.net/groupboards/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/cool.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='B)' />
