Pumper 55 has finally arrived and will be in service soon. This truck will replace Pumper 54 which has served the community for 15 years as our front line fire apparatus. Pumper 54 will be placed in a reserve role and still be used as a back up.

Thank you to our West Platte Fire Board, including past members, for their support. Thank you also to all of the members of the fire district that contributed with ideas and helped design this truck. This truck will serve the community for many years to come.

Last Wednesday night we had a structure fire in Weston. Our on duty crews hard work saved the home despite many hazards including live power lines on the ground.

Thank you to our mutual aid partners who responded to assist, I really appreciate how the departments in this county are all so willing to step up and help each other when needed.

Thank you also to the many off duty West Platte firefighters who came to help without even being asked.
