Coaldale Fire Department dedicated a truck to Capt. Kyle Zwiesdak who died in 2020, reports tnonline.com.

The vehicle is a 1994 Seagrave pumper and was purchased from the Christiana Fire Department in Delaware. The truck replaces a 1979 Mack pumper. It has a 1,250 gallons-per-minute pump.

A fire truck parade with about 30 fire apparatus was held as part of the dedication event.

The Mount Olive Fire Department has welcomed two brand new 2021 Pierce Enforcer fire engines, reports Goldsboro Daily News.

Both engines are equipped with a 1,500 GPM pump, a 1,000 gallon tank, and a 30 gallon foam system. These trucks will replace Mount Olive’s 2002 Engine 1 and their 1996 Engine 2.

The cost of both trucks was $1.2 million in a buy-one-get-two deal. Grant money through the USDA was used to help purchase both of these trucks.

The Brentwood Fire and Rescue Department broke ground on a new, $9 million fire station, reports Williamson Herald.

The Brentwood Mayor and city officials joined firefighters to mark the symbolic celebration. The new, two-bay building will be two stories and 10,000 square feet. The fire station will include one front-line fire engine and one reserve apparatus.

Brentwood-based TMPartners is the architectural design firm that created the building programming, design and facility analysis.

City officials said the fire station would dramatically improve response times to the southeast quadrant of the city and adjacent areas. Staffing for the new station would be accommodated gradually through annual increases in personnel.
