The Durango Fire Protection District held a push-in ceremony Monday, Feb. 5 for a $700,000 pumper, one of three purchased by the fire department, durangoherald.com reported. The other two are expected to arrive in spring 2025.
The new pumper replaces a 39-year-old unit, the report said.
In addition to the three pumpers, DFPD has ordered two four-wheel drive engines that are more suitable for firefighting in the northern part of the county, according to the report. At least one of those trucks will replace a 24-year-old engine as a front-line truck.
