Wilkes-Barre (PA) Welcomes New Fire Apparatus

Wilkes-Barre (PA) Welcomes New Fire Apparatus

It’ll take about three weeks for the firefighters to get trained on the new pumper showcased Monday at the East Ross Street station

The mini-pumper will be able to maneuver through the narrow streets and alleys in the city, especially in the Heights and Rolling Mill Hill sections, the mayor said.

The 2017 KME Ford F-550 super duty truck has a turbo diesel, 6-wheel drive and pumping capacity of 1,000 gallons of water per minute. It was purchased at a cost of $240,080 with block grant funding obtained through the Office of Community Development. With the trade in of the old pumper, the department was able to buy a 5-year, bumper-to-bumper warranty for the apparatus, Delaney said.
