Engine 310 (1993)

Engine 310, which serves as the first engine due out of the station, is a custom built 1993 Pierce Dash Class-A Pumper powered by a Cummins 300 HP diesel engine with an Allison automatic transmission. E-310 was designed completely by the members of the Boalsburg Fire Company, to better serve the community. It features a Waterous 1250 GPM single stage top-mount pump with a 750-gallon booster tank. The custom designed, raised roof cab provides seating for six personnel. All seating, except for the chauffeur, is integrated with Scott SCBA’s.

A FoamPro Automatic Foam Proportioning System, with a 20-gallon Class-A Foam Tank, was incorporated a couple of years ago to add further versatility to our firefighting capabilities. The system is connected directly to the pump manifold, providing foam capabilities to all pre-connected lines and discharges.

Besides the pump, the other most important part of an engine company is the hose. E-310 is fully equipped with the following compliment of hose:
