Engine
26-1 was placed in service on February 2,
1993; this Pierce Lance II was designed for
firefighter safety and ease of operation.
The cab has a command post and seating for
eight. The unit is powered by a Detroit 450
HP diesel engine with a four speed Allison
automatic transmission. Engine 26-1 is
equipped with a Waterous
two-stage
1250 GPM pump, 750 gallons of water, 80
gallons of Class B foam, a Fecon 400 GPM
around the pump proportioner, 1500 ft of
four inch and 750 ft of three inch Angus
supply hose. The attack lines include four
200 ft 1", one 300 ft 1" and one 200 ft 2"
Angus Hi-Combat hose. The most unique
feature of this engine is the electronic
pump panel. All of the discharges are
equipped with Akron Epic electric valves.
There is only one master intake and one
master discharge gauge on the
pump
panel. All other discharges are equipped
with Span Flowminders that have red L.E.D.
digital readouts. This feature allows the
pump operator to know the actual GPM flow
instead of using hydraulic calculations.
E-26-1
meets county standards for a Rescue Engine
with all Hurst Jaws of Life rescue equipment
to include a spreader cutter combo, rams and
air bags. All other equipment included meets
all local, state, and NFPA 1901 standards.
