🚒 TRUCK TUES…..THURSDAY!!!!!! 🚒

Good morning, everyone! We know we’re a few days late, but we decided to change things up a little and bring you Truck Tues…..Thursday!

Today, we’re highlighting Engine 77.

Engine 77 is a 2004 Pierce built on a Peterbilt commercial chassis. Equipped with a 1,250-gallon water tank and a 1,500 GPM pump, Engine 77 has been a tremendous asset to our department and the rural communities we serve.

Unfortunately, Engine 77 is currently out of service and will soon be decommissioned. As our department and community continue to grow, so do our needs. Chief Taylor and the command staff are currently working toward replacing Engine 77 with a new engine that will better serve our department and our community for years to come.

We are excited about what the future holds and look forward to sharing our new engine with you in the near future!

Please join us in thanking Engine 77 for its years of service and dedication to our community. ❤️🚒

Have a safe and wonderful Thursday from all of us at Fanning Springs Fire Rescue!

🚒 Serving Our Community With Pride 🚒

Fanning Springs Fire Rescue extends our deepest sympathies to the family, friends, and colleagues of Marion County Fire Rescue Paramedic Cliff Murphy.

Knowing Cliff was an honor in itself. Cliff was well known for lighting up every room he walked into, no matter the circumstances. Cliff was a devoted father and paramedic with one of the biggest hearts around. Even in death, Cliff is still saving lives and making a difference.

Thank you, Cliff, for being the great human being we were blessed to know and love.

Rest easy, Cliff. You will never be forgotten.

This may or may not turn into something but if you haven’t started stocking up on extra supplies it may be something to consider.
