Our Apparatus:
In July of ’07, we took delivery of a brand new 2007 International/MetalFab Class-A pumper (shown on right). Hundreds of hours were put into the design of this engine, which will replace the aging 1984 Pierce Arrow Star (on left). Special thanks goes to Colwell Diesel, MetalFab Ltd., K&T Environmental, and Finishline Graffix for their dedication.
