Springfield Engine 8 ran with a 1993 Pierce Lance 1500 GPM pump for 23 years. This model pumper was the staple of the department following the demise of the Maxim company. E8 had a 750 water tank and 50 gallons of foam.

Springfield switched to the Velocity PUC apparatus for their Engine Companies after Pierce Fire Apparatus stopped production of the Lance model. The current Engine 8 is a 2016 with a 1500 GPM pump and 750 water tank.
