The Lincoln Township (MI) Fire Department recently took delivery of its new 2022 Pierce pumper.

The apparatus has a 1,250-gallons-per-minute Waterous pump and holds 1,000 gallons of water. There’s still more equipment to be added, but it should be placed into service soon.

With the new addition, the department is accepting bids for its predecessor: A 1995 GMC TopKick Pumper with a 750-gpm Hale pump and a 1,000-gallon tank with foam unit. It has 24,232 miles on it.

The bidding process will remain open until the February 8 board meeting.

The College Place (WA) Fire Department is set to replace an apparatus and purchase protective equipment, on the heels of city council approval, reports union-bulletin.com.

The purchase is being made jointly with the Walla Walla Fire Department and Walla Walla County Fire District 4, according to the report.
