↘ From Joe's Notes

Why this rig, this way.

Designed to specifically meet the tight roads and driveways of the White Mills service area. This truck has a short wheelbase and can be effectively run by a single operator.

↘ About the department

A look at who runs the rig.

White Mills VFD runs out of Station 32 on Texas Palmyra Highway, covering portions of Texas, Berlin, Cherry Ridge, and Palmyra townships in Wayne County — rural NEPA country north of Honesdale, along the Lackawaxen River. The department's been running since 1911 and handles both fire and EMS out of the one house, with two ambulances (32-8 and 32-9) alongside the fire apparatus.

The fleet runs engine-supply-tanker for the rural draft work, backed by a mini-pumper for tighter access and grass calls. They lost their tanker in a rollover in December 2025, so this truck slots in as the replacement for that shuttle role — keeping the 2009 KME engine free for first-due structure work while restoring the tanker leg of the shuttle.

Coverage
Parts of 4 Wayne Co. townships (~90 sq mi combined, not all first-due)
Pop. Served
~7,900 combined across the 4 townships (dept covers only portions of each)
Water Source
Draft-based · rural tanker shuttle (Lackawaxen River, local ponds)
