Photo by RON JEFFERSThe Brookside Fire Company in Mendham Township has placed into service a 2024 Ferrara Cinder model 1750-gpm/1000-gwt pumper. The cab has six seats and chargers for portable radios and hand lights. The front bumper has a hose basket, intake and outlet which consists of a 1 1/2-inch "Jump Line." There are three cross-lay hose beds, two rear discharge gates, ground ladders stored in a hose bed compartment, roll-out tool trays, scene lights and wheel well storage space. This unit replaced a 2000 Pierce Saber that saw original duty in Medford, N.Y. Recently, this rig was acquired by the North Hudson regional department.
