Erlanger Fire/EMS is pleased to announce that they have just taken delivery of a new Pumper/Rescue. This is the first new fire engine the department has received in 12 years, and replaces a 1990 FMC Pumper which has been retired. The new Pumper/Rescue was manufactured by Sutphen Corporation in Columbus, Ohio and has many innovative features that the firefighters have not experienced before. This truck is actually bigger than our previous Fire Engine as we combined the function of two vehicles into one due to the decreased staffing levels available. It will be capable of handling fires and vehicle extrications along with all the equipment necessary for those types of responses. The firefighters will begin training on it right away so you may see it driving through the city to become familiar with its new features.
