West Collingswood Heights 1976 Mini Pumper
Engine 1523 Engine 1523 is a 1976 Pierce "mini-pumper", built on a Chevrolet chassis, which was delivered in February 1976 and officially placed into service in April 1976. This unit is set up as an "attack pumper" and is equipped with a 400 GPM Waterous pump with a 250 gallon water tank. The apparatus responded on all fire calls, and could carry 5 firefighters. The apparatus carried 800ft. of 2-1/2 inch supply hose, 3 Scott air-paks, (2) 1-3/4 inch hand lines, and (2) 150ft. booster reels, which were deployed off each side of the apparatus. The primary responsibility of Engine 1523 was to fight grass fires and provide support at other incidents. This engine would also respond down small streets and alleys, something a full size pumper cannot do. This type of fire apparatus was extremely popular during the 1970's and 1980's because is could respond faster than a full size pumper.
