What’s better then 1 new fire truck?
2 new fire trucks! Thank you to all the people who were involved in making this happen.
Special thanks to Chief Steve Cooper and our great fire commissioners. With a competent, well trained crew these engines will greatly increase our ability to extinguish fires timely and effectively.
According to wikipedia, depending on where the engine is stationed, more than twice as much the amount of fire hose can be carried aboard the rig above and beyond the national standard. In the case of rugged terrain keeping engines from driving directly to the fire, large hose lays are installed to transport water to the fire areas. In desert areas with moderate terrain situations, less hose is used as it is easier to access the fire.
