From the desk of the Fire Chief:

Please Welcome Our New Fire Engine!!!

On April 20, the Iota Fire Protection District welcomed its newest member, Engine 2. Our firefighters, along with Boy Scout Troop 64 and citizens from our Fire District, were present to have her blessed, and “pushed in” so she was properly put in service!

She is a 2026 US Fire Apparatus fire engine, on a Freightliner M-112 chassis, with 1500 gallons of onboard water and a 2250 G.P.M. pump. We will make a post soon describing this trucks capabilities and inspiration to our community.

Many long hours went into the design and specifications of this truck, and it will be a fine addition to our fleet, and to our improved operational efficiency on emergency incidents. Our “Old” Engine 2, a 2013 Rosenbauer Freightliner fire engine, has been sold to a fire department in West Virginia.

We would like to thank our Fire District Board of Commissioners for fiscally managing our funds to be capable of this purchase, and our firefighting staff for continuing to strive towards professionalism and their dedication to public service. Lastly, we would like to thank the citizens of our Fire District, without your continued support we would not be able to strive towards being a beacon of hope for those in need.

From our continuous training mantra, our fire and rescue response, and our commitment to public service, you make it all worth while. Thank you for believing in us, supporting us, and allowing us to be YOUR 1st responders!
