Acting HR455 Goes In Service Our community will see a new Rescue Truck around for the next 12 months or so. This week, as part of the Rescue Squad's vehicle replacement plan, we said goodbye to our 2004 Pierce Heavy Rescue, known as Heavy Rescue 455, after we placed an order for a new vehicle, scheduled for delivery the 1st Quarter of 2018. The current Rescue was sold to Brindlee Mountain Fire Apparatus out of Huntsville, Alabama, and as part of the sale agreement, a no-cost lease was arraigned so that the Squad could continue our service delivery uninterrupted.
The Acting HR455 is a 1994 Pierce Saber Rescue, with Detroit Series 40 300HP Diesel engine, cascade system, electric PTO generator, hydraulic reels. With just 20,000 miles on this 30' 3" 6 seated rescue, it was a win win for all parties. Acting HR455 arrived on Wednesday evening, and crews spent the last 2 days retrofitting the unit and getting it placed in service and completing operator training. Early next week, retired HR455, a 2004 Pierce, will head off to Alabama, before ending up and its new home in the South.
During orientation, Rescue Company members had a chance to use the temporary tools that came with the unit, while practicing on our other recently retired Car455, who ended its service with CFARS last week.
CFARS is grateful to our community at large, who through their generous donations, along with operational income to the department, have allowed our non-profit, volunteer run organization to make this project possible without having to ask our Municipal Governments for funding specific to this unit.
