The Swift Current Rural Fire Department is eagerly awaiting a new Freightliner fire truck, expected to arrive in April 2025, to replace its aging 2003 model. Meanwhile, the Kandiyohi Fire Department has donated an old fire engine to a new fire department in El Centenario, Mexico, illustrating the lasting impact of retired firefighters in their community. Notre Dame's Fire Department recently held a ceremonial 'push-in' for a new urban attack pumper, emphasizing the rich tradition of fire service culture. Additionally, Crooked River Ranch Fire & Rescue is set to receive a new wildland interface engine, also marked by a community push-in ceremony, demonstrating ongoing support from local legislation. These events highlight both the evolution of fire service equipment and the strong ties between fire departments and their communities.
