<strong>SOUTH</strong> <strong>EUCLID</strong> <strong>FIRE</strong> <strong>DEPARTMENT</strong> – 2011 ANNUAL REPORT<br />
Delivery <strong>of</strong> this front line state <strong>of</strong><br />
the art pumper was accepted by<br />
the <strong>City</strong> in March <strong>of</strong> 2008. This is a<br />
1500 gallon per minute pumper<br />
manufactured by Pierce Fire<br />
Equipment in Appleton Wisconsin.<br />
As the primary pumper, 312<br />
handles the bulk <strong>of</strong> the fire ground<br />
pumping operations and is second<br />
only to 341 in total number <strong>of</strong><br />
emergency responses.<br />
Fire Apparatus<br />
We consider this pumper to be state <strong>of</strong> the art because <strong>of</strong> its engineering and installed<br />
equipment. For instance, Pierce Fire Equipment is owned by Oshkosh Trucks which produces<br />
heavy equipment for the military. An innovative suspension system, used for years on some<br />
military equipment is also used on our pumper; this gives the driver better control, a smoother<br />
ride, and safer response to emergencies.<br />
