Local firefighters are our first line of defense against disasters in Texas.
We offer a wide range of fire department assistance programs as we strive to build their capacity to protect life and property.
This truck will fill a gap in our fleet because we are able to use one apparatus for a job that used to require two or more. This apparatus has already responded to a few requests for high-water rescue in the recent flood events.
