South Sioux City Fire Department add new fire trucks to fleet

Two new additions have arrived within the last week. "We retired two 1980s engines and the Volunteer Association replaced one of them with a 2006 sister truck to one that we already have. And then the city purchased this brand new 2017 to replace the other 1980s engine." said Payne Allen, South Sioux City Fire Medic. The brand new truck has technology that will allow for better communication and more control over water flow while fighting fires. The 2006 engine has been updated to include those features as well. "This was updating to modern engines, modern equipment and just updating the department in general. Less breakdowns, lower maintenance, less costs to run up." said Allen.
