A new rescue pumper has been delivered to the Clarion (PA) Fire & Hose Company No. 1 and the 34-foot-long apparatus was on it’s first call in less than 12 hours after being put in service, according to a report published by The Leader-Vindicator.
The purchase of the $700,000 Pierce Enforcer was two years in the making and is expected to be the most used apparatus in the fleet, according to the report.
Some of the features of the apparatus include a 505-horsepower engine, 1,000-gallon water tank, a 30-gallon foam tank and a 2,000-gpm pump, according to the report.
Clarion’s old truck was purchased by an individual that donated it to a fire department in Mexico that welcomed it with a good shining and a parade, according to the report.
