Rush Fire Dept. - 1971 Rush-Mendon Road, Rush, New York 14543 585-533-2058 rfdept@rochester.rr.com (web master bfaugh@rochester.rr.com) BREAKING NEWS - SCROLL DOWN...........
Rush Firefighters visit Rotary Sunshine Camp - August 31, 2010 The kids got to put on the gear and fight the house fire.........
On Sunday August 29th Rush Rescue was on display at the City/County Flames & Courage Event at the Lake in Rochester NY. Rochester FD had a problem with the generator on their Rescue 11 unit and asked to use Rush's truck and tools for an extrication demonstration. Rush was glad to provide the equipment to the RFD. They were impressed with the equipment and how it was located on our new Rescue truck.
New Rescue IN SERVICE. The funds used to purchase this truck came from part of the funds received from 19 years of Fund Drives, Carnival Profit and Memorial donations. The Rush Fire District (taxpayers) paid for the 6,000 PSI Air Pack bottle filling cascade system and the telescoping 9,000 watt light tower. ($35,000) The Fire Department paid the remaining $403,000. The new 588 chassis was built by HME motors and the body by Emergency Vehicles Inc. It has a 6 man A/C cab with 5 air packs mounted in the seats, Rear back up and right side cameras, 370 HP engine, Automatic transmission, Anti-lock brakes and Electronic skid and rollover prevention. All LED clear scene lights and warning lights. (First truck in Monroe County in recent history to have a "Rotoray" warning light.) In the 40's and 50's they were very popular. An electronic 200 watt Federal Q siren, mandated reflective marking on the rear, 12,000 lb winch, 35 KW generator, 1500 Watt side body and front & rear mounted flood lights. The new trucks wheel base is 7" shorter and total height is 3" shorter than the old truck. We ran out of room on the old rescue and felt we should sell it while it was still worth something and also the prices for the chassis would be more than $20,000 more in 2011 because of mandated EPA changes in the engine. The 1991 Pierce Lance rescue was sold to Rushville FD for $60,000.
Rushville has the 1991 Pierce IN-SERVICE
