The outgoing Engine6, after 40 years of dedicated service to the United Fire Company, had reached a critical point of deterioration and was nearing the end of its roadworthy life. Throughout its lifetime, it has responded to more fires than any other active apparatus in Susquehanna County, thereby earning its well-deserved retirement. Last year, we seized an opportunity to acquire this 1988 Hahn Engine from a private owner, which, despite being only two years newer, has been well-maintained and has primarily been used for parades and has the added benefits of a slightly larger truck with a fully stainless steel body. Given the current uncertainty and high costs associated with new fire truck procurement, with prices around $1 million and delivery times spanning three years, this acquisition serves as a prudent stopgap measure. Over the past year, our members have worked diligently to prepare this engine for service, performing most of the work in-house to save considerable costs. The new Engine6 is equipped with 2,500 feet of 5-inch supply line, five hard suction hoses, two portable pumps, and a range of other essential equipment. Engine6 operates as the second-due engine at all United structure fires, the first-due engine at all United brush fires, and serves as the primary mutual aid engine. We extend our gratitude to the community for their continued support, which enables us to undertake such initiatives.
