The DuBois Volunteer Fire Department's new fire truck is a combination of an engine and a rescue truck, so it was a little bit more - it was a lot more involved - in the spec process, getting it designed and built, explained former DuBois Fire Chief Bill Boyle.
Manufactured by Sutphen, out of Columbus, Ohio, it has a variety of features because of its dual nature as an engine and rescue truck.
These include a 2,000-gallon per minute pump, a tank that can hold 750 gallons of water, hydraulic rescue tools and breathing air for refilling air pack bottles.
He said the specs were very difficult in building the truck.
"Speccing a rescue truck is hard enough, speccing an engine is hard enough. When you try to spec one that does both...we've been working on it for three or four years." He called it a "multi-year process."
