Palm Coast Fire Capt. James Neuenfeldt and Driver-Engineer Mark Davidson drove it in from Ocala, where it was built by E-One, Wednesday evening. It made it to Station 25 off Belle Terre Parkway around 6:30 p.m. Some firefighters on their day off came in to check it out.
It’s an impressive sight, even for those, like most of us, who don’t know the first thing about fire engines: Ladder-25 is a $980,000 truck, plus some $40,000 for additional hardware such as mounting brackets and other items. At 70,000 pounds, or 35 tons, the 42-foot-long truck gets about 3.2 miles per gallon, carries 500 gallons of water–enough to put out a one-room fire or a car fire at 125 gallons a minute without hooking into a hydrant–and has a ladder that extends 100 feet, with a water cannon that can fire up to 1,250 gallons a minute, though the truck as a whole can flow 2,000 gallons a minute.
