Johns Creek Fire Department Unveils New Fire Engine The Johns Creek Fire Department (JCFD) recently unveiled its new fire engine at Station #61, 10265 Medlock Bridge Parkway. The 32-foot-long, custom, Pierce Enforcer Pumper has 2,000 gallons per minute pump capacity and weighs more than 38,000 pounds. The new engine has an enhanced motor and braking system, along with various operational improvements such as an integrated light tower that can be raised and positioned remotely, making it useful in fire scenes, accident scenes, and police investigations after dark. The truck also enables firefighters with more attack hose capacity and includes specialty emergency medical services (EMS) equipment compartments. JCFD held a push-in ceremony during the unveiling, which is a tradition of fire department personnel moving the truck into the fire station. The new fire engine replaces the ten-year-old engine that was in service at Station #61, which will be added to the reserve fleet. Typically, engines are replaced every ten years or 100,000 miles and are then placed on reserve. Currently, the department operates three frontline engines and one reserve. The fire engine cost $563,656.
