New electric pumper introduced in Cary
The Cary Fire Department has brought into service a Pierce Volterra electric pumper.
This is the first such pumper to be delivered on the East Coast. It was manufactured by Pierce Manufacturing Inc., an Oshkosh Corporation that is based in Appleton, Wisconsin. Atlantic Emergency Solutions, a dealer of Pierce, secured the order which reinforces the commitment of Cary to sustainable and innovative firefighting solutions and its goals around resiliency.
The new electric pumper has a water tank capacity of 500 gallons. It can seat six people and has a fire pump manufactured by Waterous, with a rated capacity of 1500 gallons per minute. Its safety features include side and frontal roll impact protection, and an avoidance collision mitigation system.
Flyer printing can be used to highlight the features and benefits of these pumpers.
The pumper can operate fully on electric power. However, if the battery power gets depleted during operation, the internal combustion engine of the pumper seamlessly engages so that the fire truck can continue its mission. Fire Chief Mike Cooper of the Cary Fire Department said that this capability was a requirement of the pumper and can be easily switched from one mode to another on demand. He added that the department has a history of using Pierce’s technology in its fleet, but this new pumper enables the department to be part of an environmentally conscious community.
