This article is a direct street report from our correspondent and has not been edited by the 1st Responder newsroom.
In the past, Manchester By The Sea Fire Department used a 1974 Pirsch 75' quint with an open cab as Ladder 1. This classic truck had a 250 GPM pump and could carry only 200 gallons of water.
Now, fifty years later, the department uses a 2023 Rosenbauer Commander 109' as Ladder 1. This quint can deliver 2250 gallons per minute and carries 500 gallons of water along with a 30-gallon foam tank.
