The team at the Sheboygan Fire Department are the proud owners who took delivery of a new Pierce Aerial Platform truck on November 28, 2018. She came in at 100 feet long (ladder extended) weighing 84,000 pounds with the ability to pump at a maximum of 1,500 gallons per minute. She holds 25 gallons of foam, 65 gallons of fuel, and has a water tank capacity of 500 gallons.
Before the truck goes into service, Piece Manufacturing will be doing on-site department-wide training. The computers, radios, and other equipment will be installed within the coming weeks. This new truck will be located at Station 3 and is replacing a truck that had a 75-foot ladder. To make room for this new truck, Station 4 will receive the engine that had been located at Station 3. The plan is to have the new truck in service before the end of the year.
