Warsaw (MO) Welcomes New Fire Apparatus

The new vehicle has the ability to pump 1,250 gallons of water per minute, compared to 750 GPM in the old truck, and firefighters can now sit on air ride seats in the cabin with power steering and air conditioning. They will be more comfortable than they were while riding on a bench seat without modern equipment. Oh! The back of the new truck sports an eye-catching picture of the Warsaw High School Wildcat.
