The Cedar Hill (MO) Fire Protection District recently took delivery of its new 2021 Pierce Enforcer pumper.

Crews will spend a few weeks training on the apparatus, which will be stationed at House 2 in Oermann.

The pumper holds 1,000 gallons of water, a 30-gallon foam cell, a cafs compressor, and a 1,250-gallon-per-minute pump.

The department says the truck will be dedicated to the memory of Battalion Chief Marvin Shaffrey at a dedication ceremony later this month.

Maysville (NC) Fire & EMS was recently awarded a $261,100 AFG grant for which it applied in 2020, and the department says it must cover 5% of the total cost which will go toward air packs.

“The AFG grant is a grant developed to provide assistance to firefighters in getting required and necessary equipment,” the department says on Facebook. “This grant has provided all three stations—Maysville, Belgrade, and Loco—with 37 air packs with spare bottles.

“This equipment will provide us the ability to replace old, outdated equipment and keep our firefighters safe when called to duty.”
