Norwood Bonds for New $800K Pumper

NORWOOD - After spending 60 percent of its budget this year on repairs to a 1997 pumper firetruck, the fire department is in the market for a new one. The council approved bonding for the truck at $768,000 and another $100,000 for extras such as radios and hoses.

Three vehicles currently make up the department's fleet - a 1984 Hahn pumper, a 1997 3-D and a Seagraves. The 1997 3-D is having maintenance issues and the manufacturer has gone out of business. Norwood does not have a ladder truck and depends on mutual aid for coverage when one is needed.

Aerial Rescue

An employee at a feed company had to be airlifted to an area hospital after falling from a silo on Tuesday night. The incident happened in the 9000 block of W. Main Street and brought out both the Turlock Rural and Turlock City fire departments.

The employee fell from a silo about 25 feet, landing on a catwalk, which was still about 20 feet above the ground, according to the Turlock Rural Fire Department's Facebook page.

The Turlock Fire Department was called to the scene to aid in the aerial rescue with their ladder truck.

Rescue swimmers from Renton fire headed to help Harvey victims

Local FEMA groups are headed to Houston Monday morning, including Renton firefighters who are trained to dive for people in distress. Two years ago, 15 firefighters in Renton trained in a rescue swimmer program in addition to the department's regional dive team. Those firefighters with the skills and equipment needed to get to stranded Tropical Storm Harvey victims have been deployed as part of FEMA’s Pierce County-based Washington Task Force, WA-TF1.
