In December 2023, the Trenton Joint Fire District signed a contract with JPB Fire Equipment for the purchase of a new tanker/pumper from Toyne Fire Apparatus.
This new apparatus was designed to replace two pieces of equipment in our fleet with a single, more versatile unit. The apparatus being replaced were a 1996 tanker and a 1999 engine. By combining the capabilities of both into one piece of apparatus, the District is able to reduce future replacement costs, maintenance expenses, and insurance costs while adding greater versatility to our fleet.
The new tanker/pumper was specifically designed to both pump and haul water, giving our crews the ability to provide fire suppression capabilities while also bringing a substantial water supply to incidents where hydrants or municipal water systems are not available.
After a lengthy design and construction process, the new apparatus arrived in March 2026.
Over the summer, our crews completed extensive in-service training before placing the unit into service. Members spent countless hours becoming familiar with the truck’s systems, pump operations, water supply capabilities, equipment placement, and overall operation.
This training was critical to ensuring that when the new apparatus was called upon, our members would be confident and proficient in its operation. Preparing the crew is just as important as preparing the truck.
The addition of this apparatus represents a significant investment in the future of the Trenton Joint Fire District and, most importantly, in the safety of the residents and communities we serve.
We would like to thank the Trenton Joint Fire District Board of Fire Commissioners, JPB Fire Equipment, Toyne Fire Apparatus, and everyone who played a role in bringing this project from an idea to reality.
