Fire engines join city fleet with standardized design
Engine trucks in the department's fleet carry a 600000 per engine price tag. Abrahamson, with the department 24 years, says the process is lengthy and demanding but rewarding. Engines operate from Stations 2 and 5, with the last new units entering service in 2010. The purchase cycle starts six months before council approval, including trips to Wisconsin for mid construction checks. After test runs and pump trials, engines go to Pierce's dealer, South Coast Fire Equipment, for handover. Uniformity is emphasized to ensure efficiency on calls. Feedback is positive. crews are pleased with fleet progress.
