The city of Lowell, Massachusetts, introduced the newest additions to the Lowell Fire Department fleet on a Facebook post recently.

Engine 2 will be stationed at the Branch Street firehouse and Ladder 1 will call the Lawrence Street firehouse home. Both new units were built by Pierce Manufacturing.

These vehicles are the seventh and eighth of 10 new fire apparatus funded through ARPA, continuing the city’s investment in public safety and emergency response.

On Tuesday, Sept. 9, 2025, the two new apparatus made their official debut on JFK Plaza.
