OTHER INFORMATION
|
This truck was an emergency purchase for the town of Granville. The
condition of all fire apparatus at the time was so poor that the town was
suddenly left with virtually no fire apparatus and therefore needed to
act quickly toward a new truck. This truck was a production vehicle that
was already built and available for immediate delivery, and therefore is
very basic. The truck has worked out okay and does meet the needs of
the department. The only major repair to this truck has been a
complete pump rebuild. A few water leaks have been fixed and normal
chassis related, age appropriate repairs have been done also. You will
notice in the photo that the truck is still lettered as "Engine One". The
truck went onto service as Engine 2 several years ago and has been
scheduled for re-lettering and striping to bring it into NFPA compliance.
Limited budget and other priorities have caused re-lettering to be put
off several times. 2007 - Truck was retro-fitted with high side
compartments for SCBA stowage paid for by the Granville Fire
Department Association.
