New E-1 Typhoon Custom Pumper

In March 2020 the Fire Department received delivery on a new E-1 Typhoon Custom Pumper to replace a 20-year-old pumper. This new pumper has a 1,000 gallon tank, top controls for more efficient operation, side and front hose beds to enable crews to get water flowing faster, and extensive storage for extra air bottles, axes, fittings, etc. 

​The pumper holds 1 driver and 5 crew. Air packs are mounted in the crew seats so en route to a fire the crew can safely put on their gear and be ready to fight the fire the minute they get out. No time is lost.  As then Fire Chief Denny Conrad explained, "We customized this pumper for rural firefighting where we don't have fire hydrants and have to haul water. The pumper will work with hydrants, but it is custom-designed for Reily Township."  The E-1 Typhoon began going out on calls April 2020 when crew training was complete.
