Today, the North Arlington Fire Department officially donated our retired Engine 6, formerly Engine 2, to the people of Sosúa, Dominican Republic.
Engine 6, a 1993 Pierce pumper, proudly served the residents of North Arlington for more than 30 years as a front-line apparatus, reserve apparatus, and even temporarily with the Kearny Fire Department during times of apparatus shortages. Over those three decades, Engine 6 became part of countless memories for both past and present members.
While the officers and members of Schuyler Engine Co. #2 will miss her, we are grateful that Engine 6 will continue serving and protecting another community. Her legacy will not be forgotten.
Several members of Schuyler Engine Co. #2 also traveled to Sosúa to assist with the transition and help train local firefighters on both the previously donated PPE and their new fire engine.
We would like to extend a huge thank you to the mayor and council for authorizing this donation and giving Engine 6 the opportunity to continue serving others. We also want to thank our friend Felix, Lt. Jenny Lok, and FF Joe Cubero for helping coordinate both this apparatus donation and past PPE donations.
Finally, thank you to Engine 6 for 30 years of dedicated service and for helping keep the residents of North Arlington safe throughout your career.
