The Columbia City Council recently approved the acquisition of a new pumper for the fire department, the city said in a Facebook post.
“This advanced apparatus is equipped with a 750-gallon water tank, a 20-gallon foam tank, a 1,500 gallons-per-minute pump, and has a 20-year life expectancy,” the city said. “By selecting a fully loaded preconfigured unit, the city was able to save $150,000 on this $750,000 purchase.
“This strategic investment ensures that our fire department has the necessary tools to continue providing excellent service and safety to our community.”
