The vehicle is a 1997 Pierce Quantam 105’ Aerial and was produced by Pierce Manufacturing. Pierce has built fire trucks since 1940, and is the highest volume producer of fire vehicles in the United States today. It will replace Engine #3, a 1989 Pumper and Truck #3, a 1976 Aerial.
The new piece of equipment needs several upgrades and the Fire Department is still accepting donations from individuals, businesses and other organizations to bring it up to full operational status.
