First Day Of Training In the Books On New Truck 46

The first day of factory training on the new Truck 46 is in the books. C Shift trained with the factory representative from Sutphen on all aspects of the ladder truck such as: driver controls, fluids, maintenance, driving, pumping, and aerial operations. Aerial operations were conducted off of Wilson Avenue in Penn Township with all staff in attendance getting time on the pump and aerial controls. Truck 46 is a 2015 Sutphen SPH 100′ aerial with a 2000 GPM single stage pump and 300 gallon water tank. Truck 46 is tentatively expected to go into service in the spring of 2016 after extensive in-house training and equipment mounting. A and B Shift will receive factory training to round out the week.
