Jackson (MO) Fire Rescue Dedicates Engine 13

Jackson (MO) Fire Rescue dedicated Engine 13, a new $550,000 engine, at a ceremony attended by about 100 people, according to a report published by The Cash-Book Journal.

According to the report, the new engine is nearly identical to Engine 12 that was put into service about five years ago and will replace Engine 11, a 1990 model that will be donated to Career & Technology Center in Cape Girardeau, so a fire-fighting course can be offered there for high school juniors and seniors.

In keeping with traditions, retiring Engine 11 was driven out of the station and used to wet down the new truck, the report said, noting that ceremony red towels were used by the public to wipe down the new Engine 13. The truck was then blessed by local clergy and pushed into the station, according to the report.
