E-ONE®, a subsidiary of REV Group® and a leading manufacturer of fire apparatus, announced the delivery of an E-ONE Industrial Pumper to Toronto Fire Services in Toronto, Canada.

Toronto chose the Industrial Pumper because of E-ONE’s long history of building this type of truck with its large diameter plumbing, 12,000 liter per minute pumping capacity and 2,030-gallon tank for Class B foam. In addition to its large capacity for foam, the truck will also serve as a mobile deck gun supplying more water than any of its current units.

Other key features of the E-ONE Industrial Pumper include:

• ® Ranger 3 Nozzle with automatic self-educting feature

Toronto worked with E-ONE dealer 1200 Degrees in designing this pumper that would best fit the department’s unique needs.

“Industrial firefighting creates its own set of challenges.  Toronto Fire Services, 1200 Degrees and E-ONE were able to work closely to design a configuration that will meet these challenges head-on,” said Larry Daniels, E-ONE’s Director of Sales. “The E-ONE industrial pumper design has a proven track record of being effective and designed for years of use in an industrial environment. Being a custom apparatus manufacturer with an outstanding dealer partner enables us to serve Toronto Fire Services as they protect lives and property.”

According to a report from NWI, the Dyer (IN) Fire Department (DFD) allowed city town council members to take an early look at its new Central Park Fire Station this past Saturday, which will become operational at the end of the month.

The 10,500-square-foot, $3.1 million facility will serve the fire, police, and park departments. Located at 930 213th Street, a few doors down from the former Station No. 2, this new station was constructed on property from Central Park, the town’s largest park. Station No. 2 was built in 1978. The town’s other fire station, which is home to other municipal departments, is on Hart Street.

DFD Chief Thad Stutler said the new station provides more space and storage room for police and parks. The DFD has a staff of 34 paid, on-call firefighters, about half of whom are also emergency medical technicians.

Stutler said there will be no sleeping quarters in the station, but it will be able to house 16 firefighters. The bay area has room for two pumpers, one special-use vehicle, one “squad” vehicle for transporting extra staff, one inflatable boat, and one small trailer for holding medical supplies.

Stutler said the new facility offers more room for staff, including training, shower facilities and space for police and parks. Police have a smaller bay area, while parks has storage space.

Other amenities at the station include an extractor for washing personal protective equipment, airvacs in the bay area for removing carbon emissions from fire vehicles, and wall computers for training and for connecting to Lake County fire crews.

The town broke ground for the station in May 2020.

The Greenville-Spartanburg (SC) International Airport Rescue and Firefighting Department has moved into its new $9 million fire station and emergency operations center—a 24,000-square foot facility from which the department covers 3,700 acres of airport property for aircraft rescue and firefighting (ARFF), structural and wildland firefighting, medical and technical rescue, confined space and hazardous materials incidents, and motor vehicle accidents.

Tony Lohrman, Greenville-Spartanburg’s chief, says the department was in dire need of a new station. “The old 8,000-square foot station was built in 1962 and was renovated in the 1980s because the size of apparatus was growing,” Lohrman observes. “It also wasn’t measuring up with more firefighters using it because it had a single bathroom with one shower and a single gang bunk room with bunk beds.”

The new station, Lohrman points out, houses 23 paid firefighters operating on a 24/48 shift schedule and has five double-deep, drive-through apparatus bays that can hold four ARFF trucks, a Type 1 structural engine, a heavy rescue/hazmat truck, a wildland engine, a foam trailer, and command and support vehicles. He adds that the department expects to take delivery of two new Rosenbauer Panther 1,500-gallon Panther ARFF trucks in April.
