🚒❤️ One of Our Favorite Visitors Stopped By! ❤️🚒

On Tuesday morning, Payson Fire Department Station 11 had the pleasure of welcoming one of our favorite visitors, Oliver, and his grandmother, Debra, for a special visit with the crew.

Oliver brought pizza to share and spent time touring the station, checking out our apparatus—including our ladder truck—and visiting with our firefighters. He was escorted around the station by Battalion Chief Jarrett Cline and had the opportunity to meet Captain Brandon LaBonte, Engineer Brandon French, and Firefighter Danielle Yox.

As luck would have it, a call came in during his visit, giving Oliver a front-row seat to watch the crew respond with lights and sirens. It was an exciting experience and one he won’t soon forget!

Oliver is always such a joy to have around. His enthusiasm for the fire service, curiosity, and kind heart make every visit special. We love seeing his excitement and passion for everything firefighter-related, and who knows—maybe one day we’ll be welcoming him back as a member of the Payson Fire Department family.

Thank you, Oliver and Debra, for stopping by and spending part of your day with us. We always enjoy your visits and look forward to the next one! 🚒

🚒 Please help us welcome the newest addition to the Payson Fire Department fleet! 🚒

Payson Fire Department is excited to introduce our “new-to-us” 2008 Pierce Quint. This apparatus combines ladder, pump, water, and hose capabilities, allowing it to function as both an engine and a ladder truck.

Our crews have already been actively training and familiarizing themselves with the many features and capabilities this apparatus brings to the department. The addition of this Quint enhances our operational versatility and supports our continued commitment to providing high-quality emergency services to the Payson community.

While it may be a few years old, it is new to us, and we are incredibly grateful and excited to have it become part of the Payson Fire Department family. 🚒🔥

🚒 We’re excited to share that the new ladder truck is expected to officially be placed in service and responding to calls by August 1st! This addition will enhance our response capabilities and continue supporting the safety of our community. Stay tuned for more updates as we get closer to putting it into operation!
