MILTON - The City of Milton Fire Department recently took delivery of a brand new fire-rescue vehicle.The new unit, a custom 4-door Midi-Pumper, from Sunbelt Fire Apparatus in Fairhope, Alabama, was built by E-One Fire Apparatus of Ocala, Florida.
The new vehicle will be designated as “Rescue 23,” and replaces a 2001 E-One Super Lynx Midi-Pumper, scheduled to be sold as surplus property.
The rescue responds to all medical emergencies, vehicle accidents and similar rescue-related incidents. It also responds with a fire engine to vehicle fires, brush fires and haz-mat incidents, providing greater mobility and additional resources. There are two hydraulic hose reels for extrication equipment, allowing both the cutters and spreaders, to be pre-connected to the power unit, ready for immediate use at a vehicle accident. The compartments all have roll-up doors, providing increased convenience and safety when accessing equipment. Seating is provided for up to five personnel in the four-door cab.
