All Volunteer Stations, 19 & 79, Bucks County, PA

 

On June 12, 2007, The Doylestown Fire Company took E-One Fire Apparatus out for a test drive. Bob Smith of Guardian Fire Equipment came to town with 2 trucks for the company to demo. We had a chance to test out a straight stick from Limerick and a tower from Sellersville. Like last month when Pierce brought their trucks to town, the fire company had a chance to drive these trucks around and see how they would work for us in Doylestown. Both trucks were very nice to drive and showed the company different options for replacement. Thank you to Sellersville and Limerick for allowing us to drive their apparatus for the evening.

E-One also displayed it's impressive jacking system, lifting the front end right off the ground!
