Berwick Fire Department has two brand new identical Fire/Rescue Pumper trucks on the way this month
The new pumpers were engineered and built at the Toyne manufacturing plant in Breda, Iowa.
Both trucks feature a Spartan Metro Star MFD 10" chassis, Cummins ISL 450 horsepower engines and 3000 Allison EVS transmissions and will carry a hefty 1200 gallons of water operating with 1500 gallon Hale pumps. The trucks also feature Fire Research telescoping lights. Berwick purchased the new equipment through authorized Toyne dealership Eastern Fire Apparatus in Milton, New Hampshire. The trucks are expected to be in service and ready for response this February.

Help me to embrace a little child Before it’s too late, Or some older person from the horror of that fate. Enable me to be alert And hear the weakest shout, And quickly and efficiently to put the fire out. I want to fill my calling and give the best in me, To guard my neighbor And protect his property. And if according to Your will I have to lose my life, Please bless with Your protecting hand My children and my wife  Photographs by Erin Thomas
