Members of the RTFC flew to the Pierce factory in Wisconsin on Monday, May 24th to perform the final inspection of the newest engine for the fire company prior to its delivery. Members spent Monday afternoon and the majority of Tuesday inspecting the new apparatus and ensuring that it meets the specifications of the fire company and the Township.

Some final details will be completed at the factory prior to the apparatus being delivered to the apparatus dealer in South Plainfield NJ. The vehicle will be checked again as well as having some equipment mounted at this facility prior to the final delivery to the fire company. Final delivery is expected to be within the second week of June.

This chute can be positioned to the left or right side of the cab as needed.
