Thanks to a collaboration by two local businessmen, a 1982 Peter Pirsch 100’ aerial ladder, recently retired from the St. Albans City, VT, Fire Department, has been delivered to the Fairfax, VT, Fire Department. The St. Albans department recently received a 2011 E-One Cyclone II 100’ quint (with a 2000 GPM pump)through a federal grant.
The Pirsch was purchased by the two business owners, who evaluated the needs of various Franklin County fire departments and decided that Fairfax would be best suited as the new home for the truck.
