Engine 2's new pump has been placed in service at the Lafayette Square Fire House

Engine 2's new pump was placed in service at 112 p.m. on Monday, September 30, 2024.

 

This apparatus is a 2023 Pierce Enforcer, 1250 gpm (gallons per minute) pump with a 500 gallon water tank. It incorporates TAK-4 T3 All Wheel Steering and energy efficient Idle Reduction Technology.
 
The All Wheel Steering will be advantageous in maneuvering through the narrow streets and tight corners of the district, especially during responses to emergency calls. 

 

Thank you to our Fire Dept Mechanics, the Tech Services staff, & the members of Engine 2 (group 4) for completing the changeover on Monday.

The pump was delivered by the area distributor, Allegiance Fire and Rescue apparatus.

 

As expected with the city's busiest company, the quick photo shoot in busy Lafayette Square was interrupted by the response to an alarm.

 

Engine 2 was organized in 1832 and has been bravely protecting Lafayette Square and our city for 192 years.
