A report looked at the latest delivery for the city of Guelph, which is located in Ontario, Canada.
The department's new Avenger pumper from Rosenbauer was recently put into service. The fire truck is shorter from front to back and comes with a tighter steering radius, which is important for the community, according to Chief John Osborne.
“It allows us to get into the areas within the community that are a little bit smaller because intensification is the way we’re moving towards now and we needed a truck that was capable of getting into the smaller areas,” Osborne explained.
The truck was purchased for $740,000, but Osborne said about $100,000 was saved because it was meant to be one of Rosenbauer’s demonstration trucks.
