Apparatus - Ocala, Fla., Gets New Pumper From Hometown Builder
Anticipation and excitement has been palpable at Ocala Fire Rescue as the delivery date for two fire engines, ordered last year, approached. In late October, the crew at Fire Station No. 3 (737 SW MLK Jr.) was surprised with the delivery of their brand new E-ONE apparatus to OFR’s Headquarters. The new engine, which displays the red, black, and gold color scheme the department has transitioned toward, will replace the red and white engine which called Station No. 3 home.
The new Engine 3 is powered by a Cummins engine and an Allison transmission and has a Hale pump and 780 gallons of water to fight fire. It also has a all the necessary advanced life support tools responders need and is ready to respond to fire and medical calls.
