Allentown (PA) Gets Grant to Replace Fire Apparatus

At that time, five trucks in the city’s eight-truck fleet were more than 10 years old. The National Fire Protection Association calls for firetrucks to remain in primary use for no more than 10 years. After that, a truck typically has another 10-year life as a reserve that can be subbed in when a primary truck goes down.

One truck, a used demo model engine, arrived in July 2017. Two more, both engines, were included in the 2018 budget, said Fire Chief Lee Laubach, and are currently being built. They are expected to arrive in December.  

One more engine will be funded with the state grant and an additional $15,000 provided by the city. That truck has also been ordered and is expected to arrive in January, Laubach said.
