The Tappan Fire Department has officially taken delivery of a brand-new Seagrave rescue apparatus, which will be placed into service as 21-EQ, marking a significant upgrade to the department’s emergency response capabilities.

The new unit is built on a Ford F-550 XL Crew Cab chassis and is powered by a 6.7-liter diesel engine with four-wheel drive, providing reliability and performance in a wide range of emergency conditions. The apparatus features an 11-foot custom rescue body, designed to maximize equipment storage and on-scene efficiency.

Additional highlights include a Warn front bumper equipped with a 12,000-pound winch, Whelen warning and scene lighting for enhanced visibility and safety, and a Harrison 10 kW hydraulic generator to support extended operations. The truck is also outfitted with Hannay cord reels, allowing for quick and efficient deployment of power and lighting tools at emergency scenes.

Department officials say the new rescue truck will significantly enhance operational readiness and better serve the residents of the community.
