We've got an entire pierce fleet of engines and a tanker. our engine 4 is our oldest and still could be a first due engine. There great. We're looking at getting a 105 platform from pierce in the next year or two, we've seen some demos, there nice. Here some pictures of our fleet.

    With the exception of our tower ladder (an Aerialscope I happened upon which we had rebuilt and certified) all of our line pieces are Pierce, with the three pumping pieces at the main station on Lance chassis. Our oldest, a 1989 Lance just got a polytank and is still first due for many assignments. In a rather unique arrangement with the other town department, we share a cooperative assets station that was formerly the Stafford Springs FD. We run a 1992 Arrow and a 1998 Heavy rescue built by the Pierce MedTech subsidiary out of there. We also have a 2005 Special Hazards Unit which is a 2005 Pierce Contender that fills a multitude of roles and pulls the Mass Decon trailer. Our long range planning would rechassis the Aerialscope onto an Arrow XT.
