The Bay District Volunteer Fire Department is excited to announce the departments President Johnson, Secretary Eno, & Treasure Waikart signed the contract for a Pierce Arrow XT Pumper. This will be the departments 7th Pierce apparatus.
The drawing below is the preliminary drawing and will be finalized at the Pre-engineering meeting sometime this summer.
New Engine 31 has a projected delivery date of January 2022, and will resemble currently Engine 32, a 2015 Pierce Arrow XT with a 1500 Hale GPM Pump, and a 728 gallon Tank.
This new unit will have:
- Detroit Diesel 525 HP engine
- Allison EVS 4000 transmission
- Hale QMAX 1500 GPM
- Pierce Husky 12 Foam system with A & B Foam capabilities
- 700 gallon tank
- Whelen HiViz scene lighting package along with Firetech Hi Viz headlights and LED scene light package
- Seating for 5 personnel
- Front & Rear Intakes
- 360 degree camera system
- 67.5″ cab
- 5′ 4″ low hosebed height
- 700 gallon water tank with low rear hosebed
- Lowered crosslays
This will be the first time since Bay District retired out their 1983 Henderickson / E-one in 2005, that the Volunteer Department will have a true Engine 31 back in their fleet! They were previously running old Engine 92 as Engine 31, as the reserve pumper.
The department thanks the committee members for all the work they had already done and still have ahead of them.
