The LVFD recently became aware that Hawkins County Tennessee volunteer fire companies were in dire need used fire apparatus to update the fleet. The volunteer fire companies in the area were using 1980-era fire engines for suppression operations. We contacted the Hawkins County Volunteer Fire Association to discuss donating our 1999 ALF pumper to help fellow volunteers in Tennessee. A workhorse for many years in Laurel, E103’s new home is with The Lakeview VFD in Hawkins County TN.

We made a similar donation of our old A108 to Splendora Texas after they were devastated by Hurricane Harvey in 2017. All our best to the Lakeview VFD volunteers and we expect E103 will serve you well!
