Hey everyone,
I just got this update from Jacob Combs about the new fire engine that the Hebron Alden Greenwood Fire Protection District has acquired. They officially welcomed their brand-new 2014 Spartan Metrostar/UST engine into service on August 12, 2014. This impressive piece of equipment is truly state-of-the-art and replaces two older vehicles, one from 1984 and another refurbished unit from 1980/1997.
Here’s the breakdown of what they’re working with now:
- It’s powered by a 450 HP Cummins ISL9 engine, which provides both power and reliability.
- The vehicle can seat up to four people comfortably.
- Equipped with a 1500-GPM Hale QMAX pump, it’s more than capable of handling large-scale firefighting operations.
- Carries a 1000-gallon water tank, ensuring extended operational capabilities without refilling.
- Features BLS (Basic Life Support) and extraction tools, making it versatile in emergency situations.
- The low hose bed design makes it easier to access equipment quickly during critical moments.
- It also has a front-mounted suction system, allowing it to draw water directly from nearby sources if needed.
It’s worth noting that this engine is replacing an aging fleet, which will significantly enhance their response times and firefighting abilities. The photos shared by Alex Vucha really showcase how modern and efficient this new addition is. You can see the sleek design, the powerful pump panel, and even the distinctive chevron striping on the rear.
This new engine not only represents technological advancement but also highlights the district's commitment to improving safety and preparedness for their community. I’m sure it’ll be a game-changer for them!
Take a look at the images below to get a better sense of its features and design.
