The Old Lycoming Township Volunteer Fire Co. recently purchased and put into service this 2017 Pierce Enforcer pumper that has a 750-gallon tank with a 1,500 gallon-per-minute pump, according to Larry Dincher, fire company treasurer. This apparatus cost $510,000 and replaced a 2004 Pierce Arrow XT that was sold to a volunteer fire department in the Altoona area, Dincher said.

The new truck is owned by the fire company, but manned around the clock by the Williamsport Bureau of Fire. The arrangement supports the 1999 alliance between the two companies that calls for the township fire company to provide a pumper and crew accommodations while the city department provides manpower for the truck that responds to all emergency calls in the two communities, Dincher explained.
