The city of Wichita Falls held a “Push-In” ceremony Thursday, Nov. 2 at Fire Station 8 to celebrate the fire department’s first two new fire vehicles, the fire department said in a Facebook post.
Two years ago, the Wichita Falls City Council approved $9.9 million for new fire apparatus, the department said.
The fire department purchased 13 apparatus in total:
- Eight pumpers
- Two aerials
- One heavy rescue
- Two manpower squads.
This was a 3½-year process from start to finish: one year of planning/design; 2½ years to build the apparatus, the department said.
