This Engine was the workhorse in the Valley from 1981-1996. With it being one of the best built Hahn's, and powered by the 8V71, it was not only a good looking Pumper, but also had that big Detroit 8V sound. It was sold to a dealer down South, and is still running first out at a Volunteer Fire Company in Kentucky.

When Engine 72 was out of service for several months following a accident, Middletown needed a second pumper. Our Pierce dealer found us a great replacement in this CF.

When starting the Wildland Team, members of the MVFC went looking for a vehicle to haul equipment, as well as to assist with extinguishment of fires in the first due.

Members of Middletown did all in house work on the unit, which included adding new compartments, mounting two hose reels onto the new mid-compartments, adding newer seats, new emergency lighting, sirens, paint and graphics. This unit was retired when the Wildland trailer was purchased in 2004. The deuce was handed back to the State, and it\'s current location is unknown.
