Seward County Fire Department (KS) Replaces Charred Fire Apparatus

Grass fires earlier this year spelled the end for a few area homes as well as one unit being used to fight the fires. The truck, one of the Seward County Fire Department’s (SCFD) older models, stalled in the middle of being engaged with crew in a fire attack.

With that news, county fire chief Andrew Barkley quickly worked to get a new unit in place for fighting fires locally.

Thursday afternoon, county firefighters provided a demonstration of the new truck, a 2016 Rosenbauer 1250 GPM RXT Maverick, with a Freightliner M2 106 4X4 two-door chassis and a Cummins diesel 300 horsepower engine.
