DALLAS, Oregon 12/12/2024
Dallas Fire and EMS placed a new engine into service last week. This new piece of equipment will replace an almost 30-year-old fire engine. Dallas Fire and EMS has been in the process for over a year to get this new fire engine into service. Between brainstorming, conceptualizing, ordering, and then completing the final touches, many individuals have put countless hours into this new piece of equipment.
Dallas Fire and EMS wants to thank everyone that had a hand in getting this project completed. We want to thank Mayor Woods, City Councilors Michael Schilling, Larry Briggs, Micah Jantz, David Schein, Nancy Adams, Kim Fitzgerald, Kirsten Collins, Debbie Virden and Carlos Barrientos. Along with City Manager Brian Latta for their help in securing funds to get this project off of the ground. The funds used were allocated from our ARPA (American Rescue Plan Act). We also cannot thank the City of Dallas Fleet Maintenance personnel who tirelessly worked on getting all the parts and pieces working along with our Deputy and Division Chiefs who finalized all of the details.
“Keeping our fleet up to date with current fire standards and safety regulations is of the utmost importance to Dallas Fire and EMS. This new apparatus will help our agency serve the citizens of Dallas for many years.” Fire Chief April Wallace
