WHEN THE FRONTIER EMERGENCY PRODUCTS business and shop in Phoenix burned down Saturday night, one of the losses was a new pumper schduled for delivery yesterday. The El Mirage Fire Dept. is one of the busiest stations in the Phoenix area and was planning to put their badly-needed E-One engine is service soon.
The equipment service company was finishing installing the computers and hand tools on the engine, which was valued at $500,000 plus the $100,000 in equipment that the city had installed on it. The fire chief is now looking for an emergency purchase of a line-piece because they cannot afford to wait another nine months for a replacement.
Last week
The fire destroyed another smaller apparatus that belonged to another department and caused $10,000 heat damage to a Glendale engine that was stored outside.
