A new fire engine has been added to the Germantown Fire Department as part of the city’s overall Capital Improvement Plan. Designed to carry up to six firefighters, the engine meets and exceeds current NFPA and ISO standards and is fully equipped to handle fire suppression and medical emergencies, including Advanced Life Support care. The $915,906-engine is also equipped with a 750-gallon water tank, a 1,500-per-gallon minute pump, and a foam system. The new engine also allows an older engine to be reassigned as a reserve vehicle.
