The Lake County Public Safety Department’s Fire Rescue Division will add a new fire truck, reports South Lake Tablet.

The third generation 2019 Pierce Enforcer Custom Pumper will provide fire, rescue, and emergency services to the community of Yalaha and surrounding areas. The unit was designed to provide expanded services by utilizing an 84″ extended crew cab with additional storage.

Additionally, the extended body length will provide a large amount of space for hazardous materials mitigation equipment along with standard firefighting and EMS equipment. The specialized equipment on board includes a 750-gallon water tank, a 1500-gallon per minute pump, and a foam system capable of delivering large volumes of foam for fire, fuel, and chemical suppression.
