Belmont (NH) firefighters have settled on a new fire apparatus, and chiefs briefed local politicans on the decision recently.

Fire Chief Ken Erickson recommended that selectmen accept a bid from Pierce Manufacturing Corp. in the amount of $530,950. Erickson reportedly made the recommendation based on a number of factors including better warranty coverage and trade-in value for the old fire truck, as well as a better prepay discount.

The Pierce fire truck consists of a stainless steel cab chassis and multiplex wiring.  There is a 10-year non-prorated paint warranty on the cab valued at $6,700.  There is a 12-year paint warranty on the body of the engine that is non-prorated.
