nEW DELIVERIES

Lawrenceville

Members of Lawrence Township’s Lawrenceville Volunteer Fire Co. (Mercer County Station 23) held a dedication and housing ceremony for their newest piece of apparatus on Saturday, December 12, 2009. The new Rescue 23 is a rescue-pumper equipped with a 2,000-gallon-per-minute pump, 750-gallon tank, and extrication equipment. It replaces a 1988 Pierce. During the ceremony, Fire Chief Raymond Nagy helped Mayor Pamela Mount use an axe to smash a bottle of champagne on the front bumper of the new rig. Members of the fire company then “pushed” the new Rescue 23 into its bay at the firehouse on Gordon Avenue.
