January 11, 2021: New apparatus arrives in Paterson. E3 is in. The pumper is small, shifty, and quiet, with some neat new technology (100 gallon automatic foam system: to use environmentally friendly green foam). The wheelbase is 27 inch shorter at 188”. This makes it easier to navigate Paterson streets.

February 1, 2021:  The decon station at Lakeview has the 1st of its kind super CFM ion fan.

All firehouses now have direct diesel exhaust hoses on slides made by Plymovent. All firehouses now have high tech ion filters. This emits heavy ions into the air that latch on to particles like COVID and drop them to the ground. Since this will cause more dirt 3 more Zamboni walk behind floor cleaners areon order.
