APPARATUS DELIVERIES

The Arlington County, Virginia Fire Department designed its new pumpers to answer medical calls as well as provide traditional fire protection. Each has a 4-door cab and a center-mounted engine, with a pump mounted forward of it independent of the transmission. This creates a walk-through jumpseat area that is capable of carrying a stretcher, according to Captain John A. Maruca. The pumpers were built by Young Fire Equipment Corporation and feature a Duplex cab with seating for six.
