Work continues on the Newbury Fire Department’s KME 103 Tuff Truck. The ladder truck is being fabricated at KME’s Nesquehoning, Pennsylvania factory.
In the above photos, residents can see that the cab structure has been fabricated and painted to the Newbury Fire Department’s color scheme.
Manufacturing has been started on the custom apparatus frame and chassis. (The frame rails are pictured above in the layout stage. All holes are precision drilled in preparation of assembly).
As the build progresses, the engine, transmission and axles will be installed in preparation to install the cab and body. While the chassis is being constructed, the cab interior will be prepped and installed.
Keep an eye out for future updates!
