Engine 303

2008 Spartan/Smeal

303 was originally bought to replace old 300, a 1997 Freightliner with a refurbished 1981 Grumman body. 303 was bought as a demo truck from Metrolina Fire/Rescue. When 303 arrived in late January, it replaced old 303, which was donated to Gaston College to be used as a training apparatus. When 300 arrived, this truck was renumbered to it’s current number as 303.
Currently, 300 is the first-due engine in our district and responds first out on wrecks, fires, including brush, vehicle and structure fires and on fire alarms and other non-emergency calls.
