APPARATUS DELIVERIES

The Gulfport, Florida Fire Department, an all-volunteer company, serves a population of 12,000 within a 2 1/2-square-mile area. It had to replace a 1955 vintage pumper and a 1962 mini pumper built by its members. In planning its new apparatus, it had to consider 150 2 ½and 3 ½-story new homes built on stilts that populated the district. The department decided on a pumper with a 65-foot telescoping waterway and access ladder to provide needed reach, especially for reaching between houses from the street without entering the property, according to member George Hensly.
