FIRE DEPARTMENT VERSATILITY

THE SIOUX CITY FIRE DEPARTMENT HAS ADDED THREE NEW VEHICLES THAT CAN RESPOND TO A VARIETY OF SITUATIONS.

SPOKESMAN JESSE PEDERSEN SAYS THE THREE VEHICLES HAVE FIVE INTERCHANGEABLE PODS WHICH GIVE THEM A LOT OF VERSATILITY:

THOSE PODS INCLUDE TWO MEDICAL UNITS, A UTILITY BOX AND TWO FIREFIGHTING UNITS INCLUDING ONE FOR GRASS FIRES.

THE TRUCKS WILL BE STATIONED AT STATION ONE DOWNTOWN AND STATION THREE IN GREENVILLE. THEY REPLACE FIVE OLDER VEHICLES BEING PHASED OUT.
