 Goodwill
Fire Company
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
Brush Truck was refurbished during the winter of
2008-2009 to prepare it for the brush fire season this
spring. Body was strengthened, repaired and repainted, a new
electric hose reel added, new emergency warning systems
installed and new top, sides, and doors added. New hose and
nozzle were placed on this old
but very reliable workhorse.
Our
Rescue Truck was refurbished and returned to service in
2007. We mounted the original 1986 truck body onto a new
Freightliner cab and chassis, while adding light towers, new
hydraulic lines and restored interior. Among its responses
have been two motor vehicle accidents with double fatalities
along Route 100; rescues with extensive extrication; a
response to to Grandview Speedway for a driver trapped in a
race car, a request to serve as RIT (Rapid Intervention
Team) during a fatal fire in Boyertown; as well as many
others. For less than $200,000, we have a new truck - half
the price of a completely new one!
