A tour of the newest fire station for the South San Joaquin County (CA) Fire District was held on Saturday as Station 95 opened its doors for a public viewing, according to a report published by Tracy Press.

The newspaper reported that the $6.6 million station, which was paid mostly by developers’ fees, was the first new additional station to open in the district in the past 20 years.

During the event, which included a ribbon-cutting ceremony, the public was allowed to tour the 7,065 square foot facility and saw the kitchen with separate refrigerators for each shift and the hot-warm-cold areas of the station, according to the newspaper.

By design, firefighters and equipment will enter the building on the west side of the building in the “hot” area for decontamination and then into the “warm” area where the trucks and gear are stored before heading into the cold zone where bedrooms, the kitchen and offices are located, the paper reported.

The new fire station is one of seven in the district which was formed in 1999 by a merger of Tracy Fire Department and Tracy Rural County Fire Protection District, according to the newspaper report.

Firefighters with the Lompoc (CA) Fire Department are excited to have received a new Pierce triple combination pumper delivered on Monday, Aug. 30, according to a report published by television station KEYT ABC 3.

North Boston, NY (September 1, 2021) – Taking delivery of two identical Toyne PRV™ XL Pumpers, the North Boston Volunteer Fire Company (NBVFC) expands its apparatus fleet to six emergency vehicles. Engine 3 and Engine 4 are the latest Toyne fire trucks to go into service for this department since their very first Toyne Tailored Apparatus in 2006. After making the trip from Iowa to New York, these PRVs are ready to take the call.

This all-volunteer fire company has been serving the community of North Boston, New York, for nearly 120 years. These highly trained firefighters respond to a variety of different emergencies, protecting the town’s 2,500 residents. On average, they respond to 100 calls a year. NBVFC also provides mutual aid to the surrounding communities of Hamburg, Eden, Orchard Park, Colden, Concord, and North Collins.

The department’s twin PRV XL Pumpers are built with identical specifications. Toyne constructed the XL apparatus bodies from welded stainless steel. The department needed apparatus capable of carrying a wide range of equipment while providing highly capable pumping support. Designs called for customized roll-out shelving and slide-out toolboards. Engine 3 and 4 can each hold 8 SCBA bottles in special wheel well compartments, with additional custom SCBA storage located in the body.
