🥁 Drum roll please… 🥁

We’re excited to officially welcome our brand new Rescue 842 to the Van Meter Fire Department fleet!

This Ford F-150 replaces a 2017 Ford Explorer formerly used by the Van Meter Police Department. Rescue 842 will respond primarily to medical emergencies and further strengthen our department’s ability to serve the Van Meter community.

A huge thank you to Fire Chief Schmitt and our city leaders for their continued support and commitment to enhancing our department’s capabilities. Your investment in public safety helps ensure we can continue providing the highest level of service to our community.

👏 Welcome to the fleet, Rescue 842! 🚑🚒

P.S. be sure to come and check it out at National Night Out tomorrow night from 5-7PM!!
