What's INSIDE a $1,000,000 Pumper/Tanker

This week we check out Twin Valley Fire Department's brand new 2021 Pierce Arrow XT Pumper/Tanker that cost $1,000,000! Engine 69-5 has 3000 gallons of water, 50 gallons of foam, and a 2000 GPM pump. Pierce along with Glick Fire Equipment did a great job building out this truck. They worked with the officers at Station 69 to make sure that this Engine has everything they need to fight fire.

Fire trucks have come along way in 25 years. Impressive features!!

Saw this truck on Pierce's website under new deliveries and I immediately thought "Hmm, that thing's got a station rigs episode written all over it..." Great vid love seeing Pierce deliver once again!

Awesome video, going to send my chief this video, where going to be specing out a pumper/tanker so have him get some ideas from this truck.

That’s what these videos are for

[@carpingnyland8518]

There was a guy who went by ISOSlayer back 15+ years ago (I believe he passed away) who would use potential ISO ratings and subsequent fire insurance savings for residents to solicit funding for fire departments/districts to purchase multiple trucks like these at one time (only usually with even more ladders ... on dual hydraulic ladder racks.) Literally, millions and millions of $'s at a time.

[@hammerlane3871]

Nothing like having air get up under a fold of 5" up top, and laying half your supply bed down the interstate... Real pain in the ass- and boy do you look stupid... Luckily, they were returning from a class at the fire academy, not on the way to a call. I believe the driver was given an "award" at that year's banquet, lol.

awesome! ty! how many horsepower is the engine?

[@EricWhiteTheGamer]

I need to reach out to my fire marshal see if he can disclose what new types of vehicles we are gonna be getting. Sometimes being 17 I wish I could advice them on the best things from what I see others do but they then can do what’s best on there end with my advice. Add medical and rescue gear and this could really be an all out vehicle maybe have a tiller truck that can also be a pumper and engine as well as medical and rescue gear and man you could save money, space, time, and personal. You can then have maybe some non ladder truck ones as well.

[@2Advocate2021]

I could have miss heard. I didn’t hear him list the pump and tank capacity

[@chadjespersen8780]

Sorry, but it can't be over 11' wide. It may be 108" wide, but not 11'. That would technically be an oversized load. Did you mean to say just over 11' tall? Also, PA does not require an AED on each apparatus. NFPA recommends it, but it is not a legal requirement. Glick is the sales company. They relay to Pierce who builds. Glick is just the salesman.

[@HeroesNextDoor]

100% read that entire plaque wrong. It’s is within regulation for any PA road. My bad 😞 😂

[@phatboizbackyardkustomz9006]

You mean 11' tall, law only allows 102" 8' 6" with out permits and signage for anything over that including emergency vehicles.

It’s a nice bit of kit but it still amazes me how US fire vehicles are so big, yet actually carry very little equipment compared to here. US stowage design doesn’t seem very logical to us.

[@KyleSoldani]

How much water do you guys carry on a typical engine over on that side of the pond? Our typical municipal engines (on my agency) run 500 gallons which takes a lot of room, same goes for the 3,000 gallon here. Curious if you guys have less water on board but more equipment and a stripped down tender/tanker. Cheers from Kansas!

[@peterboroughscannerfeed5510]

I know the price of trucks have gone up but this just doesn’t look like a million dollar truck! It seems like fire departments are going more for looks, toys and comfort now costing the tax payers money that could be used for more life saving equipment.
