Engine 24 is a Pierce "Quantum" mid-mount pumper.  It was purchased from the township's capital budget in the summer of 2008 to replace its 20-year-old predecessor.  It is equipped with:

• 2000 GPM, single stage pump with built-in foam capability
• 500 HP Detroit diesel engine
• Push-button electronic torque converting 5 speed automatic transmission
• Anti-lock brakes and engine exhaust brake
• Independent suspension
• A top-mounted console, accessable from either side, which places the engineer up off the street, and gives him much better visibility of the fire scene.

• Carries 6 firefighters safely in an fully heated and air conditioned enclosed cab.
• Pneumatic retractable stairs
• Radio headsets for the driver/pump operator to improve fireground communications.
• Auto-chains that drop down below the wheels at the push of a button

  A "Wetdown" will be held on June 6, 2009.
