The apparatus, a 2022 Pierce Enforcer Heavy Duty Rescue Pumper (HDRP), was picked up from Glick Fire Equipment Company, Inc., in Zelienople, on Monday morning.

The 98-inch wide body measures 34 feet and 10 inches in length, carries up to 1,000 gallons and can support up to 48,000 lbs. It also carries up to 500 cubic feet of compartment space and includes an eight-person cab.

The HDRP model is one of the most versatile apparatuses used, Assistant Fire Chief Mike Chesterfield told exploreClarion.com.

“The truck’s role and function is probably one of our most heavily used trucks in house,” he said. “This truck can do firefighting, vehicle rescue, road rescue — it’s basically a catch-all truck.”
