We
recently purchased a new TAC to
replace our old outdated one. The old TAC was over
20 years old and past its life expectancy for a fire
truck. The pump on it was non-NFPA rated, and wasn't
capable of providing sufficient pumping capacity if
the engine was out of service or on another call.
The new TAC provides
us with a LOT more versatility in that it can serve
as an engine if the primary engine is out. It's four
wheel drive so it can get to calls more efficiently
in inclement weather, and meets current NFPA standards
for where the other one did not.
The new TAC allows us to serve the
residents of Ivyland Borough more reliably and efficiently than
the old TAC. |
