E-ONE Pumper and Aerial Chosen by Maryland Fire Department

Howard County (MD) Department of Fire and Rescue Services was looking to replace an engine and an aerial platform, and while quality, service, and price were important considerations, safety elements in the new rigs were a big concern for the department.

So after doing its research and due diligence and after multiple demos with four local vendors representing major apparatus manufacturers, Howard County chose E-ONE to build the new vehicles.

Safety System

“In our research, we found E-ONE’s PROTECH Safety System and decided it would be a very good thing for our personnel,” says Martin “Pat” LePore, Howard County battalion chief. “We liked the thoroughness of the entire system, with all its component systems.”

E-ONE’s PROTECH Safety System comes with the OnGuard® collision warning and mitigation system, front and side roll air bags, a G4® electronic stability control system, a CrewGuard™ occupant detection system, and a 360-degree camera system, according to Joe Hedges, E-ONE’s product manager for chassis and aerials. “Howard County had PROTECH Safety Systems installed in both the aerial platform and the custom pumper,” Hedges says, “and they added collision avoidance system backup sensors on the aerial platform.”

2 The E-ONE aerial for Howard County uses four criss-cross underslung jacks with a spread of 13 feet 8 inches.

Aerial Platform Apparatus

Hedges says the 95-Platform has a welded extruded aluminum aerial that has a 2.5:1 structural safety factor, which he notes is 25 percent higher than the safety factor required of aerials by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA). “The aerial is rated at 92 feet high,” he notes, “and can carry 750 pounds and three firefighters in the platform dry, or two firefighters and 500 pounds wet.” The platform carries a single Task Force Tips 1,250-gallon-per-minute (gpm) monitor.
