Funds were allocated in the 2016 CIP for replacement of the department's 1977 Snorkel truck with equipment. With City Council's approval, the Sutphen company was selected to build the custom 100-foot mid-mount aerial after completing the bid process. The apparatus will be the frontline engine for the future Station 4, but will be housed at Murfreesboro Fire & Rescue Department's Special Ops station (Station 7 located on N. Thompson Lane) until new the station is built. This apparatus will enhance aerial coverage for the city and help the department maintain its ISO 2 rating.

The 1892 Ahrens steam fire engine was the City's first piece of firefighting equipment. For years, it was stored in one of the sheds at Cannonsburgh Village.
