New Engine/Rescue 101 is in Service!

Worthington’s newest fire truck was officially placed in service for emergency responses on Monday, August 24.

Fire & EMS personnel spent a long day transferring equipment and supplies from the truck being replaced. This included installing mounting hardware for the gear, and an outside contractor making final wiring and electronic adjustments to the two-way radio system.

This morning the truck and crew made its first lights and siren response with Medic 101 to a report of a medical emergency in a vehicle on the freeway.

We pledge to be good stewards of our equipment as we continue our mission of serving the public through teamwork, dedication, and an unwavering commitment to improvement.

Each week features a new craft, plus toys and games for the preschool crowd, basketball and active gym activities for elementary-aged kids, and board games for families who would rather have a quieter night of play. It's free, low-key, and a chance to unplug and spend some time together.

ℹ️ Registration is required and there is no Family Night on October 23 due to Halloween on the Green.
