Fair Haven's former 1975 Mack CF-600/1990 Pierce refurbished pumper has been in private ownership since June of 2016. The pumper, known by County Dispatch as 1372 when it was in service, features a 1250-GPM Watorous Pump and a 500-gallon booster tank. It recieved a new Pierce body in 1990 to match another apparatus on the department. It served faithfully for 41 years in front line service. It has a five-speed manual transmission and has been to many parades and field days back in the day. It is now proudly owned by a member of the department.
