The Naches Fire Department recently announced the arrival of its new Engine 213, the department said in a Facebook post. The 2024 Rosenbauer pumper was purchased from General Fire Apparatus in Spokane, Washington.
The truck features a pump with 20% more pumping capacity and double the water carrying capacity than the department’s 1998 engine.
“With the costs for 2025 and 2026 model year fire apparatus expected to increase a minimum of 20% due to new EPA emissions regulations we, along with our fire commissioners, felt it prudent to make the purchase now while the truck was still priced within our means,” the department said.
“A huge thanks again to the voters who agreed to a levy lid lift in 2023 which has allowed us to make some needed improvements including purchasing this truck. The last few things are coming together and we expect to have the truck in service within the next few weeks. We’ll schedule a push-in ceremony so the community can check it out in the coming months so stay tuned.”
