Tanker 785- Refurbished March 06

With funding from a FEMA Grant ($86,000) along with a $9,000.00 from our Fire Board we had the old 785 refurbished by United Fire Apparatus in Cridersville, OH. The new chassis is a 2005 Sterling Acterra. It is automatic and can carry three personnel. We now have air electric dump capabilities, a back-up camera and have added cross lays to be used for fire attach or for protection. There is additional SCBA storage, improved lighting and an up-graded pump to 500 GPM. We kept the 2000 gallon stainless steel tank from the old apparatus.
