Toyne Delivers Their Pumper With A Unique Blue Paint Scheme Delivered To Star Lake Fire District

A new year brings new challenges, and for the Star Lake Fire District (SLFD), they’ll meet those challenges head-on with its recently delivered Toyne Pumper. Rigged out with top-tier firefighting and emergency response hardware, SLFD’s Toyne Tailored Apparatus is ready to take the call.

Established in 1929, this fire district has served the Star Lake community for 94 years. Located in New York’s Adirondack Mountains in St. Lawrence County, SLFD responds to a wide variety of fire and emergency medical situations, taking over 200 calls annually. With the need to grow its response capabilities, the fire district tasked Toyne to build a tailored pumper.

Emergency response hardware

Toyne crafted the pumper body with welded stainless steel and painted it in the fire district’s unique blue and black color scheme. It features a number of customized compartments equipped with roll-up doors, a swing-out tool board, and several in-compartment mounted tool boards.

SLFD firefighters can store six SCBA bottles and wheel chocks in dedicated compartments

Maximizing storage space wherever possible, SLFD firefighters can store six SCBA bottles and wheel chocks in dedicated compartments within the apparatus’ wheel wells. At the back of the pumper, there is slide-in stowage for ladders, pike poles, and hard suction hose.

Additional equipment can be placed in a rear compartment with a roll-out storage tray. Star Lake’s newest apparatus boasts a 1,000-gallon UPF tank and 1,250-GPM Hale Qmax pump.

Slide-Out storage trays

For additional support on the scene, the pumper is equipped with a Foam Pro 1600 Class-A foam system and a 25-gallon foam tank. The apparatus is also fitted with an Akron Stream Master monitor.

Toyne mounted the body onto a Spartan Metro Star LTD chassis. This apparatus is powered by a 450-horsepower Cummins ISL9 engine and an Allison 3000 EVS Transmission. The cab of the Metro Star has a 10-inch raised roof and a transverse EMS compartment with slide-out storage trays.

“We are honored to build Star Lake Fire District’s first Toyne Pumper,” said Bill Bird, Toyne Product Support Coordinator, adding “Each delivery is special, especially a department’s first one. We can’t wait to see what the fire district does with their new Toyne.” Authorized Toyne Dealer - Shakerley Fire Sales (a subsidiary of VRS Fire Sales) sold the Toyne Pumper to SLFD. The dealer is located in Round Lake, New York.
