There’s a new fire truck protecting the Loxahatchee Groves community. The new 2014 Sutphen Shield was on display before the Loxahatchee Groves Town Council’s meeting on Tuesday, Aug. 5. The truck is equipped with a 1250 GPM Hale pump with a top-mounted pump panel. It has an onboard foam system and other equipment, such as the Jaws of Life. It is fully outfitted with advanced lifesaving equipment. It replaced a 2002 Ferrara truck, which faithfully served Loxahatchee Groves for more than 10 years.
