ASK THE CHIEF

Some of the citizens have been asking about our equipment and making statements about how all Newman Lake Fire does is buy expensive toys that are not needed.

Here is an overview of our current equipment, most of which is aging and requires extensive upkeep to keep it operational.

Many departments have a succession plan in place to replace apparatus such as Engines and Tenders every 20 years and smaller vehicles such as staff and command vehicles at 10 years to preserve and reduce maintenance costs.

Below is a link to the breakdown of our current apparatus.
