New engine 11

[k1500chevy97]

New for our district / City of Zillah

2002 freightliner / central states engine

1250 pumper with 750 gallons of water on board

This engine was purchased with a federal grant that a lot of departments have been getting over the past couple years

 

 

 

 

 

Quite a step up from their 20 year old engine 140

 

 

Now our engine (toppenish 11) should be here sometime later in the spring or in early summer

You guys must have a lot of fires or something.  You guys are always getting new stuff.

 

 

That is a good looking truck, by the way.

Well that red freightliner replaces a 20 year old puke yellow engine that that cit has been using and having to replace numerous parts on .

And all the rescues our dist is getting are replacing 15-20 year old units so it is just a normal replacement cycle (all within a few years)
