The two Pierce Enforcer engines "are a product of weeks of careful design and specification by Agawam firefighters, and months of construction at the Pierce Manufacturing plant in Appleton, Wisconsin," and will service the town for more than 20 years, according to a press release.

One will be stationed at the Main Street headquarters, and the other at Station 2 at 1200 Springfield Street. They will replace a pair of 1996 Pierce Saber engines.
