APPARATUS DELIVERIES
The Pittsburgh (PA) Bureau of Fire protects an area of 55 square miles with a population of about 400,000 residents. The Bureau, whose active fleet consists of 33 engines, 11 trucks, and one haz-mat unit, has placed four quintuple combination units in service for use in suburban neighborhoods. These units are designated as engine companies and have ladder capabilities.
The quints are built by American LaFrance on Century 2000 chassis. They have wheelbases of 194 inches and four-door cabs with seating for seven. They are powered by Detroit 8V92TA, diesel engines with Allison HT-740 automatic transmissions. The quints each feature 10 tool and equipment compartments.
