August 23, 2010 Members of the department traveled to Pierce Manufacturing to take a tour and start to get ideas for Engine 123 that is due for replacement in 2011/2012. Chief J. Salter, Deputy Chief T. Shumberger, Firefighter K. Kunkel and Firefighter J. Kremer all made the trip out to Appleton, Wisconsin as a guest of Glick Fire Equipment (Cyle Shafer) and looked at several different rescue pumpers. It was a very useful trip and the committee is on a GREAT start for the New Engine 123…
