Santa Clara County Fire Department takes delivery of two Smeal Custom Rescue Pumpers

Spartan Emergency Response, a subsidiary of REV Group and leading manufacturer of fire apparatus, is pleased to announce the Santa Clara County Fire Department has taken delivery of two new Smeal Custom Rescue Pumpers. These fire trucks were sold by Fire Apparatus Solutions, an authorized Smeal dealer.

Key features of the Smeal Custom Rescue Pumpers include:

• Spartan Metro Star EMFD with 5in raised roof  
• 174in wheelbase
• 30ft 2in overall length
• Extreme duty interior
• Advanced climate control system
• Cummins X12 500hp engine
• 1,250gpm Hale DSD pump 
• Hale 3.3 SmartFoam system

• Long tool storage compartment below ladder tunnel

These pumpers will primarily serve in wildland/urban interface areas where they carry out truck company duties on structure fires. However, they also offer technical rescue services for vehicle collisions on major highway systems, according to David Snow, Director of Support Services for the Santa Clara County Fire Department in California.

‘The Santa Clara County Fire Department is pleased to take delivery of two rescue pumpers that will replace two similar units,’ Snow said. ‘The primary role of these new vehicles is fire suppression; however, they also fulfil essential functions within rescue and support operations within our service area.’

‘We were honoured to produce these two trucks at our Snyder, NE, facility,’ said Chris Wade, Director of Sales, Spartan Emergency Response. ‘Santa Clara County Fire has designed a thoroughly researched, multi-mission rescue pumper for any services needed by the community. They used their experience of previous generations of apparatus to continue meeting the maturing scenarios they find themselves in. We are proud to partner with them in completing functional, attractive units.’
