Tanker 14  Goodwill Fire Company of Bally, PA
 
operates six vehicles:
     2002 Four Guys Tanker/Pumper;
     1995 HME Pumper;
     2007 Freightliner/Saulsbury Rescue Truck;
     1977 Chevy Tanker;
     1973 Jeep Brush Truck; and
     1998 Dodge Utility Van.



Our new 2007 Freightliner Rescue Truck
has been delivered back to the station and is now back on the street. See photos below. Our rescue truck responds to more calls that any of the other trucks operated by the company and has served the department well but twenty years of calls had taken its toll and it needed major work. A new rescue vehicle costs more than $325,000, but the body of this one was still in good condition.

Rescue 14 July 2007

The old rescue truck was taken to a factory in the Harrisburg area in January 2007, where its still serviceable body was remounted on onto the new Freightliner chassis for a cost of less than $200,000. It was returned to us in the summer of 2007. The savings to the community was more than $150,000 over the cost of a new rescue truck. While that was being refurbished, our rescue equipment responded in a pumper on loan from Topton and our utility van.

Thank you Topton Fire for the use of the old Mack all these months.

It's been a real experience!
