Engine 239 placed in Service:
During the month, our new Seagrave Marauder was placed into service and designated as Engine 239 and proudly bearing the nickname “Just Call.”
Engine 239 will serve as our first due engine and will also be responsible for serving as our primary apparatus for F.A.S.T. assignments. The Purchase Fire Department would like to extend our sincere thanks to Hudson Valley Fire Equipment, the Engine Committee, our Fire Commissioners, and the residents of Purchase for their continued support and commitment to providing our members with superior equipment.
We are proud to put Engine 239 into service and look forward to many years of service to our community.
