The committee returned Tuesday and Wednesday morning to complete the inspection, test drive and pump test. The committee flew back Wednesday afternoon and was expected to arrive home around 11pm Wednesday night. The committee was very pleased with the truck and other then a few minor items everything was as expected. The truck will leave Pierce in a couple days and will be driven back to Delaware to Atlantic's shop in Middletown where it will have a few additional things done to it before coming to the station.
