| Tanker 4 was formally placed in service with a special announcement by the Adams County Department of Emergency Services at 1800 hrs this evening. A extraordinary amount of time and effort went into the tanker project and the department can be very proud to have a brand new, well designed piece of apparatus that will serve our community for many years to come. In conjunction with placing Tanker 4 in service, ACDES also officially placed Engine 4-3 permanently out of service. Engine 4-3 served the Department reliably for just under 28 years and was sold to a department member who will be maintaining the unit for parade use, etc.
