The city of Orange, New Jersey recently purchased two Pierce pumpers. These units were designed with 4-door cabs for firefighter safety and for use as primary attack pumpers, with 5-inch feed lines and seven attack or exposure lines. According to Chief Gordon Williams, in an urban setting with narrow streets, it is imperative that the first-due pumper be able to carry out attack, rescue, and exposure protection. Orange is an old city, with all of the inherent problems associated with turn-of-thecentury construction and its deteriorated condition.
