The new truck is capable of carrying 3,000 gallons of water and pumping 1,000 gallons per minute, chief Mark Blauch said. That ability is critical in rural areas, where there often may not be a fire hydrant near the scene of a fire.Â

The truck cost $390,000, Blauch said. Most of that was raised through fire company fundraisers, although there was also a contribution from North Annville Township.
