The Fishers Fire Department has a brand new engine in service as of October 9th.  The Pierce Arrow XT 4  is a 105-foot aerial truck, with its new home at the headquarters fire station.  It replaces a 1997 platform aerial.   The new engine carries a price tag of $840,000.  Fire Officials were able to save approximately $350,000 by participating in the HGAC Buying Cooperative, which pools the bidding process with other fire departments in the area.

The old engine being replaced will still be around, but placed in a reserve status, to be used if needed in spots and will handle staff training

According to a city news release, the Fishers Fire Department has a response capability of 3 ladders, 6 engines, 3 paramedic transporting ambulances, 1 heavy rescue, and a tanker truck responding out of 6 firehouses and 1 ambulance sub-station.  .
