The MEFD would like to thank the borough officials as well as the borough\’s office staff for all their assistance in the planning process as well as getting the new truck legal for the road. The MEFD would also like to recognize and thank the members who spent tireless hours planning and preparing the truck to be placed in service, Firefighter Larry Buckingham, Captain Al Cooney, Captain Mark Campanell, Battalion Chief Jeff Vilardo, Deputy Chief Brian Gilmore, and Chief Mario Scullan.
The vehicle is equipped to transport 8 firefighters including the driver and officer. This apparatus is equipped to handle both fire and vehicle extrication operations making it very versatile for the community. It replaces an 18 year old rescue apparatus that had limited capabilities. The vehicle is compromised of a complete set of vehicle extrication equipment, a 500 gallon water tank for fire suppression, a cascade system (fill bottle station), and numerous special rescue equipment.
