North Highlands to Order New Seagrave

[NHFD21255 141]

On August 10 the voters in the North Highlands Fire District approved the purchase of a new Seagrave Rescue/Pumper. The truck will be eqpt to 2 sets of Lukas rescue tools (1 portable 1 permanent), 1000 gallon tank with a 1500gpm pump. This truck will replace the current rescue truck as well as the second due pumper. The tuck is expected to be delivered in late summer of 2011

Maybe 21-6-1(Ex 21-2-3). That's only 15, 16 years old??

The two Ward's will be going when the new truck gets here. The current rescue will be staying in service as its only 16 years old. That truck will be a backup rescue as the tools are pre-piped on the truck. Its main function when the new truck gets here will be mountain, water rescue and brush fires. The reason for the doing a combo truck was easy. The current rescue is packed to the point it's ready to bust and being as we needed another pumper (they are 41 and 31 years old) we decided it was more cost effective to combine a truck. Why spend hundreds of thousands for a "source truck" when it sits the majority of the time.
