Cleveland dedicates new fire engine

The city of Cleveland has dedicated a new fire engine for its Fire Station No. 5 in the Candies Creek area. The new apparatus is a Pierce Enforcer quipped with a 515-horsepower Paccar engine and a 2,000-gallon-per-minute pump, enhancing the Fire Department’s capacity to respond to emergencies and protect the community. The Cleveland City Council financed the purchase of the engine as part of fiscal investment in municipal public safety. Members of the department welcomed the engine in a traditional push-in ceremony, which dates back to how horse-drawn fire apparatus were manually pushed into stations in the early days of firefighting.
