Montour Falls (NY) Fire Department to Replace 22-Year-Old Apparatus

The village of Montour Falls is set to replace one of its older fire trucks with an $801,653 new rescue engine in mid-2023.

The purchase, from Churchville Fire Equipment, will be constructed by Pierce Manufacturing. It will replace a 22-year-old apparatus.

“The village of Montour Falls is fortunate to have a well-trained and dedicated volunteer fire service that works tirelessly to protect our community and neighboring communities,” Mayor James Ryan says. “My administration is pleased to secure the purchase and look forward to the deployment of new fire apparatus to support our village department and firefighters to help keep Montour Falls residents and businesses safe.”

“We appreciate the Mayor’s continued investment and commitment to supporting the Village Fire Department,” Fire Chief Matthew (Jake) Burns says. “This new Rescue Engine will help ensure the department has the tools it needs to effectively respond to fires and other emergencies not just in Montour Falls, but throughout Schuyler and surrounding Counties.”

The apparatus will join the department’s Pierce-built 2015 quint and 2003 tanker.
