On SaturdayMarch 12th, the 
Sierra Madre 
Fire Department 
and members of 
the community 
welcomed the 
department's 
new 2021 Pierce 
Enforcer Fire En-
gine into service 
with a traditional 
"Wet Down" 
and "Push In" 
ceremony. 
The new Engine 
41 was "Wet 
Down" by the 
department's de-
parting 22-year-
old E-One fire 
engine, and 
dried down bySMFD personnel 
and community 
members. Fol-
lowing the wet 
down, the engine 
was "Pushed In" 
by current and 
former SMFD 
members and 
volunteers, offi-
cially welcomingEngine 41 into 
service. 
This fire tradi-
tion dates back to 
the 1800’s when 
fire departments 
used horses to 
pull pumpers 
to fires. When 
the fire was over 
and firefighters 
returned to the firehouse, and be-
fore the horses went back into their 
stalls or the pumpers back in the 
station, they had to be washed and 
readied for the next fire. Firefight-
ers then had to push the pumper 
back into the station by hand, as the 
horses were not able to easily back 
them in.” Once these tasks were ac-
complished, the pumper was then 
declared ready to serve again. 
SMFD’s new Engine 41 was custom built by Pierce ManufacturingInc. It features an Enforcer chassis with a Cummins X12 engine and 
TAK-4 Independent Front Suspension for better control through the 
streets and canyons of Sierra Madre. The pump system features a 
Hale Midship 1500gpm pump, coupled with a 500-gallon water tank 
and a Husky 12 foam system. Engine 41 has incorporated a Pierce 
Command Zone electrical system for full control and monitoring of 
the apparatus. 
“Your Sierra Madre Fire Department would like to thank all those 
who attended this past Saturday’s ceremony, placing our new fire en-
gine in service,” states Chief Bartlett. “The new engine will be a valu-
able asset for the hard-working men and women as they continue to 
provide the highest level of service. What a great day, with beautiful 
weather and outstanding community support!” 
A special thank you to South Coast Fire Equipment for joining us and 
for capturing this memorable event.
