It's the newest member of the Ingomar VFC family. Our brand-new 2011 Sutphen Monarch custom pumper has just been delivered from Columbus, Ohio, and proudly serves as our first-out pumper for the Main Station.

Engine 1 boasts a 500-horsepower Cummins turbo diesel engine, a 2000-gpm Hale pump with front intake, remote-controlled deck gun, 4-side-mountable cable winch, and SCBA seating for six. The Sutphen carries 1,200 feet of supply line, 3 200-foot preconnected hand lines, a 100-foot trash line, 200 feet of 3-inch leader line, a Blitzfire portable monitor preconnected to 250 feet of 3-inch hose, and more! Our new pumper sets the standard for fire apparatus.

We're proud of Engine 1, and we're thankful that we're able to utilize this state-of-the-art pumper to provide the best fire protection possible to the residents of McCandless!
