The Bexar-Bulverde Volunteer Fire Department got some new equipment for firefighters as the area it serves grows.
Jerry Bialick with the Bexar-Bulverde Volunteer Fire Department said the new engines are state-of-the-art and dependable.
Â
The Fire Department has also ordered another ladder truck valued at more than $1 million and hopes to have it by next year. Another brush truck is also expected to be added to the fleet in a couple of months.
Some local firefighters received some new tools to aid in emergency response recently. The Washington District Volunteer Fire Company recently purchased about $24,000 to $25,000 worth of equipment through Interstate Rescue, according to fire chief Kevin Huffman.
The tools include a new Hurst Jaws of Life brand spreader and cutter, a new, high-tech Flir thermal imaging camera and a TL-9 stabilizer. Â
The thermal imaging camera replaces an older model.
