Following the Trail of Two New Pumpers

We are pleased to announce that we will begin following the design and buildout of two new pumpers - one for the Eureka Volunteer Fire & Ambulance Company located in Stewartstown, Pennsylvania and one for the Winfield Community Volunteer Fire Department located in Carroll County, Maryland. The Eureka pumper is currently under construction at Sutphen and is expected to be delivered in the first half of 2015. The pumper will replace Engine 54-4 as the department's water supply unit. The current Engine 54-4 is quite a water supply piece - the new one will be also!

The Winfield pumper is currently in the pre-build phase at Pierce. The contract has been awarded and the first pre-build conference is underway. The new pumper will replace Engine 141 as the department's "first out" pumper - so it is being configured with some vehicle rescue capabilities. The Winfield pumper has an expected delivery date of early Fall 2015.

Many thanks to both departments for allowing us to "follow their trail."
