This Saturday, July 16, 11 a.m.-1 p.m.: The Arundel Volunteer Fire
Department will host the official "Housing" of its new Engine 71
Pierce Arrow XT Pumper.
A
pumper truck is the one that fights the fires, said Chief Dave Ayres. It holds
750 gallons of water and hooks up to the fire hydrants and pumps all the water,
a total of 1,500 gallons per minute. It carries all the equipment to fight a
fire.
The
AVFD averages 4,000 emergency responses annually, serving 30,000 people. The purchase
of the engine was made possible by the community fund raising efforts throughout the year.
