On Fri. 1/29/10, the Lake Mohegan Fire District's Apparatus Committee traveled to the KME Fire Apparatus Headquarters in Nesquehoning, Pa for the pre-construction and blue print review meeting for our new Rescue-Style Engine. After 1 year of researching and developing a new Engine that fits the needs of this dept, the bid was won by KME in November, 2009. The committee on this cold Friday sat down with representatives from KME and went over all the plans and designs of the new Engine. After reviewing and finalizing the new Engine, members took a tour of Plant #6, which is the the final construction factory, and gained further insight and new ideas into the building of such an apparatus. The new Engine that will now be built will be delivered sometime in the Fall of 2010. Construction of our new rig will begin any day. Photos are courtesy of apparatus committee member Lt. Gravius. More photos and articles will be posted throughout the building of this apparatus. The following are some of the spec's of the new apparatus:
