Seymour, IA (July 1, 2021) – In the Iowa town of Seymour, the Seymour Fire Department (SFD) will soon be receiving delivery of their first fully customized Toyne Apparatus in nearly 30 years. This new pumper tanker will be replacing an older Toyne Pumper that has been in service with the department since 1990. The SFD’s Toyne Pumper Tanker will become their first out-vehicle for all structure fires and rescue calls in the communities they serve.
Established in 1910, the SFD has been protecting communities in Wayne County, Iowa, for 111 years. Today, the department has 20 members and manages a fleet of two pumpers, two tankers, two brush trucks, and one medical vehicle. On average, they respond to 80 calls–just for fires alone. Along with answering the call in their community of 700, the department also provides mutual aid to the towns of Plano, Promise City, and beyond. Their new pumper tanker will expand capabilities in meeting fire service needs in those areas.
“We’ve quite enjoyed the process of building this truck with Toyne,” said SFD Fire Chief Ross Merritt. “It’s the department’s first spec’d truck for us since any of the current firefighters have been on the roster.”
SFD’s pumper tanker was built with a bolted stainless steel body and mounted on a Freightliner M2 106 6×4 chassis. The body features customized storage options that are tailored to the department’s needs, such as Toyne custom slide-out shelving and custom under-step storage.
准备在火灾现场提供支撑，这款Toyne配备了3,000加仑的UPF坦克，一个3,000加仑的Syntex便携式坦克，一个2,100加仑的Syntex便携式坦克罐和后滑动式Porta-Tank存储。Pumper油轮的每分钟水CSPA PTO泵具有1,250加仑的水，以尽可能有效地移动水。机上泡沫Pro 1600 A级泡沫系统提供了额外的抑制。在需要时，SFD可以利用设备的板载Akron Hi-Riser显示器。
“Each time we get to work with the Seymour Fire Department, we are more thankful for teams like theirs,” said Michael Schwabe, President and CEO of Toyne, Inc. “They are a hardworking group of firefighters dedicated to serving their community. We are proud to continue to build quality and fully customized apparatus.”
